      Verdict

      Just five go to post for this classified contest but it is difficult to separate them, but we will take a chance on King's Caprice, who should have most to fear from Fruit Of Glory and Fromsong. This son of Pursuit Of Love contested a hot class B handicap on his seasonal debut and wasn't disgraced , going down by eight lengths to Henry Candy's Spliff. Toby Balding's runners generally improve for their first outing and King's Caprice can take this before returning to handicaps. Fromsong is the class horse in the race having finished a close up fourth behind Frizzante in the Palace House stakes, he looks certain to be in the firing line here. Fruit Of Glory ran well under top-weight in a competitive handicap at Goodwood last week and deserves a second look. Mazepa also comes into the equation on the pick of his handicap performances. So a very tricky event but we will side with King's Caprice.
