No need to look past TRUE TO FORM in this handicap has he looks to land his fourth win in as many starts this season. Sir Mark Prescott's runner has looked ultra progressive since switched to handicaps this term and won well enough at Kempton last time to suggest he is still ahead of the assessor. Full Victory is looking well-weighted based on his old form and has has shown a spark on his last couple of runs so a big run is expected while Vertigo On Course is from a yard in form and wasn't held that far off a similar mark last time so looks a live one for the places with True To Form looking a solid selection.
