      Verdict

      Clive Cox bids to win this for the third time in succession but Dance Fever has been beaten in lower grade races the last twice and this is a tougher race than the handicap at Goodwood in which Gisburn finished second. DOCUMENTING hasn’t won a handicap for some time but has placed off higher marks and ran well in the International at Ascot last time. Kevin Frost’s charge may prove the one to side with given Fivethousandtoone steps up in trip and Silent Film has been way below his best in both outings since returning from a lay-off.
