Verdict

A full-blown handicap cavalry charge to end proceedings and HIGHLAND COLORI makes as much appeal as any. Highly progressive with four wins to his credit already this year, he handles all types of ground and his apprentice has a fine strike rate for Andrew Balding this year. Charlie Bishop is also good value for his claim and Boogie Shoes can figure if handling the going while Compton scored over C&D last time and should be thereabouts again. Zacynthus has been in fine form on faster ground of late and Redvers is a C&D winner not easily overlooked. Kingscroft remains on a winning mark, despite a penalty for his recent win at Musselburgh, while Ayr winner Jack Dexter is at his best in soft going and has a shout if staying the longer trip along with the unexposed Well Painted and Smarty Socks, usually thereabouts over track and trip.
