      Verdict

      A decent little handicap where Strabinios King and Trafalgar Square both claims have but we prefer those of MR LAMBROS. Gay Kelleway's gelding has slipped back to a very handy mark now and has some good previous form over course and distance. The return to 7f here should suit and it was only as recently as November that he was just touched off over course and distance from a 9lb higher mark, so we will side with him. Strabinios King meets Trafalgar Square on 1lb worse terms than when beaten by him here last week and is not expected to reverse those placings as a result. Autumn Blades just needs dropping a shade further to get ultra competitive, while Compton¿s Eleven is on a decent mark and now that the yard is going well he is respected, but Mr Lambros gets the vote.
