      Verdict

      A trappy finale to finish the card, and Sonny Jim has been consistent all season without getting his head in front, but seemed to not quite stay the trip on heavy ground at Plumpton last time. The drop back in trip should suit him here, and the handicapper has given him a chance by dropping him five pounds. He is now two pounds lower than when finishing a close second in a similar race at Doncaster three runs ago and looks the one they have to beat here. Pip Moss is one to consider on his handicap debut. Jim Old was fined, and the horse was banned for seven days when he was deemed to have been given too quiet a ride behind none other than Rhinestone Cowboy two runs ago and wasn't given a hard time behind Supreme Prince at Wincanton last time, so he should give the selection most to do. Charlies Future finished clear of the remainder when a close second to Quabmatic over course and distance last time, and must go close if reproducing that form, while Compton Amica appears to have gone off the boil lately, but is now six pounds lower than when finishing third at Bangor three runs ago and cannot be ruled out completely.
