Verdict
A tough handicap to solve here for punters with many in with chances on there best form and the main protagonists look to be Lambency, Miss Taboo and No Grouse and the tentative vote is given to Lambency. The selection bounced back to form last time out when beating Petit Mac and as that was an apprentice race he escapes a penalty for that win and off the same mark here under similar conditions he is taken to win again. No Grouse rates the main danger on his latest second behind Joshua's Gold.He has won off a higher mark in the past and with his yard in form he should be watched in the market. Miss Taboo is game and consistent and was a fair second behind Apple Blossom but she is rising in the weights without winning and is opposable on that basis. Snow Bunting is another that has dropped to a handy mark and could go well at a price as the race looks sure to be run to suit. Strife was second behind Finsbury last time and is another that could go well but the draw could have been kinder. Of the others Coalite is another that is thrown in on his best form but consistency is not his strong point and for the winner we return to Lambency.
