    Verdict

    Gallantry makes plenty of appeal in this handicap and he is nominated over Fiefdom and Full Victory. The selection was an impressive winner last time out when he got the better of Tender The Great at this venue. That rival has since been out and run well so the form looks solid and he can win again. Fiefdom ran well when second behind Manaal at Lingfield last time and if he could reproduce that run here he would have strong claims. However, he is far from consistent and that does temper confidence. Full Victory wasn't beaten far in fourth behind Kinsya at Leicester last time and he is quickly turned out again today. However, his best form is on the turf and he looks worth taking on today. Kamanda Laugh is on a long losing run but he does have ability and he can go well at a price. An interesting race which can go the way of Gallantry.
