    Verdict

    Du Pre, Apsara and Tree Tops are three against the field in another tough handicap to call and the vote goes to Du Pre. The selection won well last time out when defeating Filliemou and although she is rising in the weights she won with plenty in hand and she is taken to win again off what looks a fair mark.Apsara rates the main danger she won well last time when defeating Mijdaaf and is open to plenty of improvement so she is worth noting in the market. Tree Tops is another worthy of respect she was a fair third behind Wee Dinns last time and that form looks rock solid so she has definite place claims. Of the remainder Fortune's Princess is bang-in-form but ran as if the handicapper had caught up with her when second behind Realism last time and for the winner we return to Du Pre.
