    Verdict

    An interesting little race, where Alessano is fancied to reverse last month's course and distance form with Wotchalike, while Asharon is also of plenty of interest now that he has proved that he has what it takes to win a race. Terminate has also discovered the winning thread but has more on in this company and is opposable in this higher grade. Yet another worth a mention is Cordier, who got off the mark in convincing fashion last month, but also has improvement to find in what will be his first start in a handicap. He can be placed to good effect in the future, as a mark of 75 looks fair at this stage. However, Alessano appears to have marginally more scope than the rest at this stage and, as he is 5lb better off with Wotchalike for a short-head beating, he fancied to have his the measure of his old rival and the rest today.
