      Verdict

      With an official rating of 104, WINDHOEK just sneaks into this handicap. It's his easiest task of the year on paper as he was competing against older horses when beaten only a length at York last week and he gets the vote. Cruck Realta has failed to match her winning effort at Newbury in three subsequent starts but Circus Turn arrives in better form after scoring at Goodwood last Sunday. However, the latter is burdened with a penalty for that success and Danat Al Atheer finished ahead of him at Newmarket earlier and is better off at the weights today. London Citizen is proving hard to win with and this looks tougher than his recent tasks.
