      Verdict

      Macorville, Lets Roll and Red Admiral look the three to concentrate on in this tight handicap and the narrow vote is given to Lets Roll. The selection won with a little in hand last time out when beating Crow Wood, has won off a higher mark in the past and under conditions that suit he is taken to win again. Macorville rates the main danger as he has won his last two races in good style notably when beating Rawdon last time out. However he has yet to prove he stays this far and at likely odds he is taken on. Red Admiral is from a yard in form but looks to have plenty of weight for what he has actually achieved. Of the remainder Twill also won well last time out but has yet to prove he stays this far and for the winner we return to Lets Roll who looks to have plenty in his favour.
