      Verdict

      Wicked Daze,Watchmaker and Birkside look the three to concentrate on in this handicap and the vote is given to Wicked Daze. The selection hails from the in form Sir Mark Prescott yard. He was a fair sixt behind Close To You in a maiden when last seen reterns to the fray off what looks a handy mark and if he is fit after an 722 day absence he will be hard to beat. Watchmaker rates the main danger as he won well last time out when beating Blackmail but this looks tougher and he looks vulnerable under his penalty. Birkside won a seller in good style last time out but will need to improve to win this handicap of his higher rating while Golden Platitude is unexposed and is open to improvement so should be wtahced in the market but for the winner we return to Wicked Daze.
