    Verdict

    Sherjawy is likely to be in warm order for this four-runner handicap but with the Diktat gelding running from out of the handicap after a narrow defeat under a weight similar to that of his revised mark we find enough to oppose him in favour of WOTASHIRTFULL, after his narrow defeat in a better class race last time, with Step It Up looking best of the remaining pair. Having tasted defeat for the first time at this venue in three runs last time when missing out by less than a length the selection has had his mark reduced by a pound. That contest in class terms was better than this so if running up to the same level he should go in. Sherjawy races from four pounds out of the handicap and only just missed out on a follow up success last time when running under a penalty. The concern is he effectively up in the weights despite defeat which is enough to put us off. Step It Up is five pounds heavier than when last in front and based on his recent best he'll need weight removed before scoring while Vhujon is on a long losing run which doesn't inspire confidence. It's a poor turnout which might throw the form book out of the window but we like course specialist Wotashirtfull.
