      Verdict

      BLOCKELY is the form pick to land this handicap with both Dayia and Eforetta worth noting. The selection has been in blinding form this winter and spring winning four times. He has risen eighteen pounds in the ratings as a result which is beginning to make life tough but he did run well off just a two pound lower mark at Yarmouth last time out so he still has every chance of being in the shake up once again. Dayia runs off the same mark as he did when finishing third at Folkestone last month. He was a winning on the all weather prior to that at Great Leighs back in December so is another that is added to the short list of possible winners. Eforetta is seven pounds higher in the weights for his latest success at Southwell. He does come into the this race in fine form, however he has never won anywhere but for Southwell and for that reason he is probably best watched. So for the winner we return to Blockley.
