        Verdict

        Another tight handicap for punters to fathom with many in form rivals in opposition including Winthorpe, Malapropism and Tripti, and the selection is Malapropism. Mick Channon's charge won well over course and distance a few runs ago and he has held his form well. The three-year old ran as well as ever last time when third behind Chico Guapo from a bad draw at Chester last time and a reproduction of that effort would make him hard to beat. Winthorpe broke his maiden tag with an all the way win when defeating Petana last time and now he has got his head in front he could well win again but this is much more competitive and for that reason he is opposed. Among Friends is also worth of consideration as he is well in on his best form but he has become disappointing of late. Of the remainder Tripti and Travellers Joy are from yards in form and are worth a cautionary look in the market but we will stick with Malapropism.
