        Verdict

        Lethem Air,Barracat and Seymar Lad are three against the field in this handicap chase and the vote is given to Lethem Abbey. The selection was a fair second behind Master Sebastian last time out, that form looks rock solid in the context of this race and off the same mark he looks the one to be on. Barracat rates the main danger as he won with plenty in hand when beating Named At Dinner last time but he has shot up thew weights and at likely odds he is taken on. Seymar Lad is another that could go well on his latest fourt behind Go For One. He looks sure to have come on for the run and with his yard in form he could go well at a price. Of the remainder Insurgent could be suited by the return to a right handed track but for the winner we return to Lethem Abbey.
