      Verdict

      A wide open handicap that can go the way of Lincolneurocruiser with Neon Blue and Carnivore both given a chance also. The selection has won at Newmarket and Ascot this season so connections must be pleased but there is still more to come from this progressive four year old. He is racing off a six pound higher mark than last time out but still looks on step ahead of the handicapper and with conditions to suit once more he is taken to score once again. Neon Blue is only two pounds worse off for his latest win at York last time out. He was not beaten far the time before when second at Ayr so he is in top form at present so any market moves should be noted. Carnivore may be in the grasp of the handicapper after getting beat into third position last time out at Carlisle. He won at Musselburgh the time before that and was raised seven pounds so he will find life tougher for some time to come. So for the winner we return to Lincolneurocruiser.
