        Verdict

        Charlie Tokyo, Chief Scout and Top Jaro look the main protagonists in this handicap with the vote going to Charlie Tokyo. The selection won well last time when beating Benandonner and, although having a penalty for that win, he again has conditions to suit and he will be hard to beat. Chief Scout rates the main danger as he won well last time when beating Aeumoon but he has a penalty for that win and that may just find him out. Top Jaro is another worthy of respect on his best form but he is becomming expensive to follow. Of the remainder, Little Bob will like the ground and could go well at a price but for the winner we return to Charlie Tokyo.
