        Verdict

        A small but competitive field goes to post for this handicap with many in form rivals in opposition including Dugdale, Senor Sol and Teresa and we will take a chance on Senor Sol. The three year old is from the bang in form Paul Cole yard and showed he was returning to form last time out when third behind Royal Bathwick. The step up in trip is sure to suit and with conditions in his favour he will be hard to beat. Dugdale rates the main danger he ran as if in need of the run when fourth behind Sonoma last time,He is sure to strip fitter and if there is any market confidence behind this Sir Mark Prescott trained colt he will not be far away. Teresa looks to have plenty of weight for what she has achived. however her latest third behind Moments Of Joy suggests she was going the right way and she is fairly unxposed. Of the remainder Pavement Games is from a shrew yard and the booking of Richard Quinn catches the eye but we are happy to side with Senor Sol.
