Verdict

This handicap is the setting of a hat-trick bid by DICOH and we give him the chance to win this and in doing so reaffirming his superiority of Kingsgate Castle with Sermons Mount also making the shortlist. Despite beating the re-opposing Kingsgate Castle by a just a length last time, the selection was winning going away without strong pressure from the saddle. That suggests to us he has plenty more in the tank to overcome a penalty. That defeat from the selection was Kingsgate Castle's second silver medal on the bounce having been beaten in a seller previously. He's likely to run his race again but despite a weight swing in his favour, might be second best once more. Sermons Mount is nothing if not consistent having found just one too good in his last three outings and just leaves the impression the handicapper needs to intervene while Bosamcliff should go close after not getting beaten far off this rating last time. This looks a good contest where Dicoh can land the hat-trick.
