        Verdict

        Plenty of the usual suspects on view in this handicap and from a shortlist that includes Winning Show, Unlimited and Bold Cross, we are with the last named. Although disappointing on seasonal reappearance, the gelding has proved solid enough around here in the past and if putting it altogether, he has more positives than most. Winning Show has dropped to a helpful mark. Andrew Balding's representative shaped as if a future winner when close up at Great Leighs and would go close if repeating the dose. Unlimited has often been the subject of a punt. He may not get his own way upfront today. Course specialist, Moves Goodenough is sure to have his followers. Kansas Gold is higher rated on artificial surfaces than turf so the Mackie clan attempt to make it count. Sedgwick won't mind if any rain arrives at the track. Magroom might need some help from the handicapper before we see him in the winners enclosure again. This is a hard race for the punters to work out and we are with Bold Cross.
