      Verdict

      Another competitive handicap that may fall to African Sahara, Go Solo and Takes Tutu appear to be the main rivals. The selection has had a busy old season and has gone close on numerous occasions. He almost took advantage of a ratings drop last time when just pipped by Habshan at Doncaster and he can go one better this afternoon. Go Solo has recent course and distance winning form and wasn't disgraced last time when chasing home Wahoo Sam last time. He still looks on a a fair mark and should go close. Takes Tutu has gone off the boil recently but has contested some decent events, it would be no surprise to see this one bounce back to form against this opposition. Tough Love is another to consider in a wide open affair, but for the winner we will stick with African Sahara.
