Verdict

Another tough handicap here for punters to fathom but the principals look to be Brassini, Your Pleasure and Valhillen and the narrow vote is given to Brassini. The selection looked a horse to follow last season before becoming disappointing, however as a consequence he has dropped to a handy mark goes well fresh and he looks a value bet in an open affair. Valhillen rates the main danger on his latest second behind Kinout but he is becoming hard to win with and again he is opposed. Your Pleasure won well when last seen beating Prince Aspiration he enters handicaps off what looks a fair mark and he should be watched in the market. Of the remainder Van Bossed looks weighted up to his best while Endoc ran well last time but will need to improve again to land a blow in this more competitive affair and for the winner we return to Brassini.
