        Verdict

        Polish Power and Shauna's Vision, first and second respectively in a Kempton handicap last week look to have this race between them and we will side with Shauna's Vision to reverse the placings on these revised terms; Eloquent Knight may give them most to do. The Dean Ivory-trained mare was three-and-a-half-lengths behind Polish Power that day when running under a penalty, however there will be no extra burden today and she showed her liking for today's course when winning over today's trip last month. She is 15lb higher today but has been running well and looks progressive. Polish Power and John Egan are sure to be thereabouts again but may struggle under a six-pound penalty for that Kempton win. Eloquent Knight was the impressive winner of a Southwell-handicap over this distance last month. He looks to be improving and may still be one step ahead of the handicapper; in a wide-open handicap he has every chance.Captain Margaret and Duelling Banjos are course and distance winners and are respected but we return to our selection Shauna's Vision.
