        In depth

        Verdict

        Bobski is taken to get the better of Regent's Secret in this handicap with Gifted Flame rated as the best of the remainder. The selection is well-regarded by his trainer Geoff Huffer and his latest run is best ignored as he was badly hampered at Sandown. This progressive colt should be capable of getting back on the winning trail today and he is given the vote. Regent's Secret ran well when second behind Oulan Bator here last time. He is clearly in good heart at present and if he gets the strong gallop that he needs he will be a danger to all. Gifted Flame was a fair third behind Baylaw Star at Beverley last time out. He has been running consistently well of late and he looks to hold solid place claims. Khanjar would have claims on the pick of his form and he travelled well for a long way at Haydock last time before fading. The drop in trip should suit today but we will stick with Bobski who looks the one to beat.
