        Verdict

        This handicap can go the way of Drawback who is preferred to Royal Flynn and Great View. The selection continues to go from strength to strength and he won for the fourth time in a row last time when getting the better of Oldrik. He has been rising in the weights but he is progressive and he can make it five wins on the bounce. Great View won last time at Newbury when he beat Street Life but he looks to have more on his plate today and he is not the most consistent. Royal Flynn could not be in better form and this course and distance winner scored on heavy ground last time so he looks sure to be thereabouts at the finish. Trouble Mountain looks to have a bit to prove at present although he is a very capable performer on his day and he has run well here in the past. However, Drawback has a likeable profile and we will nominate him to continue his hot streak.
