        Verdict

        This is a competitive handicap in which Unreal, Witchry and Bold Minstrel look to be the leading players and the vote is given to Unreal. The selection was a progressive filly last season and she won well when last seen out at Sandown when beating Park Approach. She is not ideally drawn today but providing she is fit enough to do herself justice on her seasonal reappearance she should take plenty of beating. Witchry was a little disappointing at Thirsk last time but that was on a soft surface and this faster ground should help to bring about some improvement. Bold Minstrel is well-drawn and he would have claims on the pick of his form, but he has been a little disappointing of late and on that basis we will take him on. Wise Wager is from a yard in form but the draw could have kinder to him and for the winner we will return to Unreal.
