      Verdict

      Idle Power deserves to get his head in front after a string of consistent efforts in competitive handicaps but has had little respite from the handicapper and a better bet looks to be Kostar, who gets the vote ahead of Greenslades. The last mentioned never threatened in the Wokingham last time but had won well at Newmarket the time before on a softer surface and he could be of interest if any rain arrives. Obe Gold is usually thereabouts and should be again here but could do with some help from the handicapper. Grimes Faith disappointed here last time and may now be best watched, while Blue Tomato is another that may be a shade high in the weights at present. The vote then goes to Kostar, who has been running well without a great deal of luck of late and comes from a yard that is in good form at present.
