        Verdict

        Alambic, Rehearsed and Osolomio are the three to consider here with Alambic taken to maintain his winning run. Alambic has run up a five timer, scoring gamely on each occasion. he is saddled with a six pound penalty here and races just three days after his latest success. The handicapper may have taken a harsher view however, and time may tell that he is well treated despite the extra weight. Rehearsd put some disappointing efforts behind him when scoring at salisbury last time. That may not have been the best of contests however and he is overlooked although only slightly higher in the ratings. Osolomio has been knocking at the door for some time with three recent seconds to his credit with the handicapper leaving him on the same mark as his second at Newmarket last time. He may have to settle for second again though here as Alambic looks set to complete a six timer.
