        Verdict

        A very tough handicap, with the slenderest of votes going to Magic Glade, who can reverse the form of his latest encounter with Hidden Dragon on these terms. Treasure Cay, No Time and Polish Emperor have very little to find to get involved again today and are others that can be considered for the places if the market indicates confidence behind their respective challenges. The list of alternatives could go on, as there will always be an element of luck in running in a race of this nature. However, as Magic Glade meets Hidden Dragon on 2lb better terms than the last time they met and, to help simplify a very tough equation, he holds enough ability to just get there by a whisker if he avoids trouble in running today.
