      Verdict

      Recent good form is in short supply, but some big yards are represented in this handicap. In an interesting affair, we are going to side with FALCATIV who could have the most to fear from Dansili Dancer and Drill Sergeant. The Luca Cumani-trained selection made light of a 196-day break to land the hat-trick last time. It was his first success on turf and the colt looks capable of following up. Dansili Dancer remains hard to win with and is still 4lbs higher than when last seen winning almost two years ago. He should have come on for his last two runs and he should be able to make the money. Mark Johnston's Drill Sergeant ran with credit last time and is capable of finishing among the minors here. The four-year-old has finished third at the last two attempts and is a consistent sort so something similar is expected from him today. King O'The Gypsies, Camps Bay and Lochiel have all won over this trip in the past but their recent form has perhaps been a touch disappointing and for us none look like getting the better of Falcativ.
