        Verdict

        In what looks a trappy affair Dhekraa is marginally preferred to Guto and Third Set, who look the pick of the remainder. The selection has been running in Listed races and should appreciate the return to a handicap and to six furlongs having been run off his feet over the minimum trip last time. Orpsie Boy looks a shade high in the weights at present and of more interest may be Mick Channon's Grantley Adams, who has not been disgraced in recent starts and is open to more improvement after just two runs this term. Charles Darwin ran better at Haydock last time but is on a long losing sequence, while Guto has solid claims on form but would probably want a softer surface. Third Set is lightly raced and could be of interest but the vote goes to Dhekraa, who is taken to make the most of this return to a handicap.
