      Verdict

      Scotland Yard gets the vote in this handicap with Jidaar and Is It Me rating the main dangers. The selection was disappointing last time out behind Cresta Gold but that can be put down to the rain softened ground, the return to this faster surface will suit and at a course he likes of what looks a fair mark he is taken to regain the winning thread. Jidaar rates the main danger as he won well last time out when beating Otelcaliforni in a maiden, that form has since been franked but he looks to have plenty of weight for what he has actually archived and is passed over for that reason. Is It Me is another that could go well on his latest second behind Strategic Mount in a maiden but he looks a far from straight forward ride and is passed over for that reason. Of the remainder Blushing Hillary is game and consistent and is sure to run her race but she is hard to win with while Fenners may just need the run after a 269 day absence but could improve for a first time tongue tie but for the winner we are happy to return to his stable companion Scotland Yard.
