    Verdict

    Tonnante, Lapina and Iolanthe look the three to concentrate on in this competitive handicap and the vote is given to Tonnante. The selection was a fair fifth behind Silver Mitzva last time out she looks sure to appreciate this longer trip and under conditions that should suit she gets the vote. Lapina rates the main danger on her latest second behind Treason Trail but she has had plenty of chances and is becoming expensive to follow. Iolanthe has been tried over a variety of trips without success of late and is another to have reservations about. Of the remainder Up In Arms won well last time but looks vulnerable under his penalty and for the winner we return to Tonnante.
