        Verdict

        Fiore di Bosco, Rotuma and Saluscraggie are three against the field in this tight handicap and the tentative nomination is given to Fiore di Bosco. The selection was a good second behind Tata Naka last time out. That form has since been franked and off the same mark here he looks the value bet in an open affair. Rotuma rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind Cottingham but he is hard to win with and at likely odds he looks worth taking on. Saluscraggie is another that could go well but he was behind the selection last time and on the same terms here there is no reason why he should gain his revenge. Eminence Gift, has dropped to a handy mark and could go well at a price especially if first time cheek pieces brings about some improvement. Of the remainder Insubordinate, is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he is hard to win with and with this in mind for the winner we return to Fiore di Bosco. who at least ran well last time out.
