    Verdict

    A fascinating handicap with all six runners having some sort of claim, however we will side with the progressive Right To Play, with Mustajed and Swan Queen put forward as big dangers. John Gosden's colt was an expensive purchase and is now starting to pay his way. He was a very game winner last time out over this trip at Newmarket. He has only been raised five pounds for that success and if he handles the ground he should go well. Mustajed has the same penalty having won comfortably in a class four handicap last time out. He will find this opposition more taxing but should still play a major role. Swan Queen is one that we know does handle a soft surface so any more rain would aid her cause. Carracciola is an interesting runner from the Nicky Henderson yard and is one to watch in the betting, however Right To Play, with the visor on for the first time can improve again and he gets the decsion.
