        Verdict

        RELATIVE STRENGTH is beginning to look dangerously well handicapped so we'll take the risk on him in this over Locum and Bedarra Boy. Now 4lbs below his only win in these ranks the pick showed a spark of form on his last run. That was his second run after a break so now fully wound he looks primed for a big run. Locum is clearly on form this season and ran a solid race in defeat last time. The form has some strength to it and another similar run might be enough. Bedarra Boy is another on form this term having not finished out of the places, including winning two starts ago. His last three goes and his run off this mark last time suggests he is fairly treated. Dovedon Angel is consistent and is in with a chance after another decent run last time but in the finale we marginally prefer the changes of Relative Strength.
