    Verdict

    Alleviate can land his hat-trick at the expense of Esclarmonde and Hatton Flight. The selection carries a six pound penalty after wins at Haydock and Sandown. Sir Mark Prescott is a master of producing horses to win quick fire handicaps and the horse only has to run up to scratch to score once again. Esclarmonde ran a personal best when second to Tifernati at Newmarket last time out and could be ready to win a handicap soon. His stable are on a high after success in the Ebor on Wednedsay and therefore he is one to note in the betting. As is Hatton Flight who has run with credit without scoring and although another placed effort is more likely this time it wont be long before a victory is scored. So for the winner we return to the hat-trick seeking Alleviate.
