      Verdict

      A competitive handicap to solve in which we will side with recent winner Four Miracles with both Red Wine and Stringsofmyheart featuring as likely dangers. The selection was in winning action at York last time out for which he has been raised four pounds. His strike rate is not great but that said he always runs his heart out and is placed more often than not. If reproducing the form he showed at York he will have to go very close once again. Red Wine won back to back races at Doncaster and Pontefract in March and is three pounds higher for finishing second at Doncaster recently. He seems in good fettle but runs off a career high mark so life from now on will be tough. Stringsofmyheart is another that has suffered from his success. He landed a hat-trick at Great Leighs, Chepstow and Lingfield and shot up eighteen pounds as a result. He ran with credit when third on the all weather last time out but he looks within the grip of the handicapper now. So for the winner we return to Four Miracles.
