Verdict

Today's feature handicap provides punters with real puzzle, and so it's not with too much confidence we plump for Perfect Love to get the better of King Harson and Raphael. After decent efforts on Lingfield's all-weather surface Gerard Butler's filly makes the transition to turf and is expected to keep up the good work. She hasn't seen a racecourse since February so fitness has to be taken on trust, however the form of her two outings is pretty solid, so we will take a chance. Tim Easterby's Raphael has had a busy old season with just the one success coming back in June, but she holds her form well and rates a big danger. King Harson makes a quick reappearance after running a gallant third behind Thihn in a tough handicap at Redcar last week. Mick Channon's B A Highflyer is also capable of a bold showing, but on this occasion we will just side with Perfect Love.
