        Verdict

        Great Charm looks the one to be with in this handicap and he is nominated over Opus Maximus and Leading Edge. Michael Bell's 3-year-old arrives here in great form and he is chasing the hat-trick tonight. He showed a good attitude to score last time, he looks a progressive tyope and he can win again. Opus Maximus travelled strongly into the home straight at Lingfield last time but he lacked a change of gear and that could again be his undoing here. Leading Edge will be suited by this slight drop in trip and Mick Channon's string are beginning to fire, so he can go well. Yankee Storm could prove best of the others, but for the winner we will stick with Great Charm.
