        Verdict

        The opener will be battled out by Il Michel, Jackie Kiely and Barking Mad with the vote going to the last named. Bought out of a claimer last year Barking Mad has given his connections some fun winning similar races. This handicap race will be as good as he is but it's a poor one and he will not have to be at his best to win this. Il Michel has to be on the short list after his eye catching second at Newbury last time out and if reproducing that same level of form he will go close. Jackie Kiely has a nice racing weight but will have to be at his very best to figure here. So for the winner we return to Barking Mad.
