Verdict

Another wide open handicap in which many can be given chances on there best form but the main protagonists appear to be Sebring, Pay The Silver and Lara Falana and we will take a chance on Sebring. The gelding from the Gerard Butler yard was a good winner at Brigton last time out when defeating Analogy and with conditions again in his favour and Frankie Dettori taking the mount he will be hard to beat. Pay The Silver rates the main danger he saves his best efforts for this track and with a fast pace looking assured he will not be far away. Lara Falana is another that should go well but he ran as if in the handicappers grip when unplaced last time out. Royal Approval is from a shrewd yard and has dropped to a handy mark and he could run well at a big price with his stable beginning to hit top form again. Of the remainder the booking of Martin Dwyer for True Thunder catches the eye and is worth a cautionary look in the market.
