    Verdict

    Of the five runners in this handicap, ITSHIM looks best and he is selected over Lesley's Choice and Smokey Ryder. The selection has been victorious in his last three outings and was a course and distance winner here back in February. The high draw is a plus for him and he is taken to complete the four-timer now that he is dropped back to his best trip. Lesley's Choice has edged up the handicap despite being beaten last time out. Smokey Ryder beat him that day and he has now notched up seven wins in the last year. The yard are in form and he has to enter calaculations, although his wide draw is a slight cause for concern. Of the rest Flamsteed and Cecily are ones to look out for, but for the winner we turn to Itshim.
