    Verdict

    A small turn-out for this selling handicap and it looks a good opportunity for City General to get his head in front, with Fox Hollow and Doctored set to fight out the places. City General hasn't had much success on the all-weather this winter but bounced back to form on the turf at Catterick last week when finishing a close third behind Zhitomir.it was quite a competitive line up and this looks a weaker event. Fox Hollow has shown much better form in recent weeks at Wolverhampton and Southwell and if transferring that ability to the turf must be in with a shout. Meanwhile Doctored, who was rated 67 on the turf last summer, has to be considered if the ground starts to dry out. Of the remainder Dulce De Leche is from a shrewd yard and any market move for this one should be noted. In conclusion it is a very modest race and City General should hold too many guns for his rivals.
