          Verdict

          The short-listed three for this tricky handicap are Val de Maal, Safranine and Hout Bay, with the selection being Val de Maal. An 18-runner handicap: a piece of cake, eh? Frimley's Mattery won this two years ago and Petite Mac won it last year. The latter does not appear too well handicapped, but the former is very well-weighted if getting it all together, which isn't too frequent an occurrence these days. Val de Maal is certainly on a fair mark and comes into this in better form than most so gets a good mention, while Dark Champion has improved of late, that run including a win here over five furlongs, so he cannot be ruled out. Blue Knight has not been running too badly of late and certainly comes into things based on winning autumn form, while course and distance winner Safranine comes here on the back of a good Catterick effort and she makes it onto the list of possibles. Hout Bay seemed to be perked up by cheekpieces last time and, well handicapped based on 2004 form, could go well, while a return to last summer's form would give Stokesies Wish a better than average chance and, judged on recent her recent effort, Misperon cannot be ruled out. Finally, Quantica is another that is well weighted if returning to her best, and any ease in the going would certainly help her cause. Overall, though, we will stick with Val de Maal.
