Verdict
Caesar's Palace has been in good form of late and he should run his usual honest race but he may be in the handicappers grip. Gaysun has been in cracking form of late over fences and he is well in here on that form and he should take a deal of beating under his optimum conditions. Silver Gift ran well to win at Sedgefield last time out but that was on rain softened ground and he may not be as good on this faster ground. Die Fledermaus looks to be improving and he is also worthy of note.
