        Verdict

        Eland Ally has won once in 32 starts though almost doubled his tally on his last start at Nottingham in October. Clubland easily won a similar handicap over the course and distance in October and is just 2lb higher so has to be respected with Gemma Tutty's claim a bonus. HARWOODS VOLANTE lost his way last season after landing a Lingfield handicap in February off a 12lb higher mark. He's much better handicapped on Turf and, now with David O'Meara, can start his climb back up the rankings. Exotic Guest is a genuine performer at this level and should go well from the bottom of the handicap while Meandmyshadow has a good record on the track and isn't badly treated.
