      Verdict

      Glenridding arrives here in good form and can complete the hat-trick; the list of dangers is headed by Highland Harvest and Machinate. The selection has won his last two races in good style and he looks to be one step ahead of the handicapper. He is progressing nicely with his racing and he looks a good bet to continue his hot streak. Highland Harvest has the best of the draw and it was a decent performance last time at Lingfield when he beat Ninth House. He was good value for his winning margin and he will be a big danger to our pick. Machinate won a claimer here two runs ago but he usually gets found out in this grade, as he did last time, and he may have to settle for some place money. My Michelle has course and distance winning form and she also has a good draw so she can go well at a price, but for the winner we will stick with Glenridding.
