    Verdict

    A very open handicap to round off the card where Tilla could regain the winning thread, with Larking About, Aleron and Spitting Image put forward as the main dangers. Hughie Morrison's three-year-old was just touched off in a two miler at Nottingham last week, and was most impressive when winning over 12 furlongs on her previous outing at Pontefract. Today's trip could be ideal for this improving filly. Larking About had no answer to Ponderon¿s finishing kick on the all-weather at Lingfield in early October but is fairly treated by the handicapper and should be in the shake up. Spitting Image made Cap Ferrat work hard for the victory when bidding to make all at Leicester last time and the step up in trip may be to his advantage. Aleron hung badly when a beaten favourite at Wolverhampton last month so you can forget that form, he's much better judged on his early season turf form and he will make a valiant bid to land this prize for the second year running, but with most of these on a downward curve it may pay to follow the progressive Tilla.
