      Verdict

      Hawa Khana has had several entries this week and should score here if taking up this engagement; Rhode Island Red and Ten Spot look to be the main dangers. Nick Littmoden's course and distance winner won a weak race easily last time out but he did hang badly to his right in the closing stages. Because he had so much in hand on that occasion it wasn't a problem but if he were to do the same today then backers may have hearts in mouths. Having said that though he looks ahead of the handicapper and evidently gets on well with Kirsty Milczarek. Rhode Island Red ran well on his handicap debut last time when he was a marked drifter in the betting, and it remains to be seen whether the visor will work so well for the second time. Ten Spot also wears the shades and ran his best race for a while when third last time out but isn't the most reliable, whilst Hits Only Time returns from a break and needs a check in the betting. Hawa Khana then gets the nod in the final race.
