        Verdict

        Mark Johnston and Keith Dalgleish fire two shots at the target for this decent prize. The Dalgleish touch with handicappers is amply demonstrated by both his runners seeking a fifth win from six starts here - a remarkable stat. Platinumcard is a real success story as he revealed little over timber but has proved a totally different proposition on the level and has every chance of defying the handicapper yet again. Euro Implosion has been cleaning up at a lower level and Love Is Golden looks best of the Johnston duo but MAHRAJAAN could well be a real handicap blot off an opening mark of 85 and prove too strong in a race where nothing can be confidently discounted.
