Verdict
A moderate contest in which what can only be a tentative vote goes to Invitado, who showed enough at Market Rasen last month to suggest that a race of this nature would be well within his compass and he is taken to score at the main expense of Dunraven and Wrangel. The last mentioned seems to be in the grip of the handicapper at present and is entitled to need the run on his reappearance. Dunraven struggled off his new mark when last seen and is another without the benefit of a recent outing. Secret Conquest was well beaten at Cartmel last time and is difficult to recommend, while Divulge is held by Invitado on running behind Pompeii at Market Rasen; form on which the Fitzgerald horse gets the vote.
