Verdict
Pailitis is our selection here in a competitive handicap, with Lone Soldier, Master Gatemaker and Millkom Elegance all sure to have their supporters. Pailitis would be hard to beat on his win over Dabus. He has since disappointed in better races but with the drop back to selling grade sure to suit he is taken to get back to winning ways. Lone Soldier and Master Gatemaker rate as the main dangers and they both ran well behind Cork Harbour at Market Rasen last time, although the latter of the two looks to be a little high in the weights at present. Millkom Elegance hails from an in-form yard and is worth noting in the market, but we are happy to side with Pailitis.
