Hansomelle, Pro Tempore and No Commission look the three to concentrate on in this handicap and the vote is given to Hansomelle. The selection made a promising debut and then won well last time at Hamilton when defeating Invertiel. He is clearly no world-beater but he looks to be improving and with conditions to suit he should take plenty of beating. Pro Tempore has already beaten our selection but has since gone on to disappoint and he is perhaps not as progressive as our choice in the race. No Commission is dropped in trip that will suit but he has been a little disappointing of late and he does not look the most straightforward and he is probably best watched. Eukleia is a fair sort and is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Hansomelle.
