    Verdict

    Another wide open handicap here with many in form rivals in opposition including Gryngolette, Hov, Sarraaf and Top Dirham and we will take a chance on Gryngolette. The three year old won well last time out when defeating Over Rating and although she has risen in the weights she will be hard to beat with conditions again in her favour. Hov rates thew main danger he was a good second behind Flighty Fellow a couple of runs ago and if the ground does not dry out to much he will not be far away. Sarraaf is another worthy of consideration he goes well on the ground but does not always find as much as is expected off the bridle so for that reason he is opposed on this occasion. Top Dirham would have a chance at his best but he has become disappointing of late. Of the remainder Red To Violet is from a yard in form and is worth noting in the market but we are happy to side with last time out winner Gryngolette.
