    Verdict

    Disappointingly just the six runners line up for this sprint handicap including Jessica Wigmo, who lost no caste in defeat here over seven furlongs last time, but she is not certain to appreciate the drop back in trip and a better bet looks to be LOUPHOLE, who gets the vote with Prince of Delphi rated the pick of the remainder. The selection can race off the same mark as when narrowly beaten by Wotashirtfull over course and distance last time and, having been running consistently well of late, the John Jenkins-trained gelding would not be winning out of turn. Brunelleschi has slipped to a fair mark but is hard to back on recent form, while Irish challenger Radiator Rooney was well held on his latest start here and looks best watched. Derek Shaw's Rabbit Fighter has given little sign of encouragement of late and of more interest may be Prince of Delphi, who ran better over course and distance last time. Louphole has obvious claims on recent form though and he gets the vote to gain a deserved success.
