    Verdict

    It is impossible to look beyond Masafi here who is taken to defy a 6lbs penalty to score again at the main expense of Downland and Midshipman. The selection still looks to be one step ahead of the handicapper judging by his emphatic success over Forge Lane at Brighton on Monday. He is a course and distance winner and with conditions to suit he looks the one to beat. Downland is another with a penalty after a good success here last time when beating Merdiff. He is in good form at the present time and will not be far away at the finish,but he will have it all on to get the better of our selection. Midshipman is dropped in trip after finishing second behind another Sir Mark Prescott horse in Elusive Dream, so that gives them a good form line against this horse who might just be capable of taking some place money. The rest will have to improve to trouble the principles and we return to Masafi who is given the confident vote.
