Verdict

Didn't We looks the one to be with in this handicap with Rebellion and Scroll the pair we fear the most. The selection hails from a yard in form and he overcame a wide draw to almost get-up over this course and distance last time. He deserves to win a race and looks to have been found a suitable opportunity here. Rebellion and Scroll are closely-matched on their recent run here in a maiden when the first mentioned narrowly came out on top. He is likely to give the selection most to think about while Scroll may well prove better over a slightly longer trip. Broken Spur has got some decent form but he may just need the run today after being off the track since November and for the winner we will return to Didn't We.
