        Verdict

        La Vecchia Scuola, Falcon's Fire and Boz look the three to concentrate on in this trappy handicap and the vote is given to La Vecchia Scuola. The selection won well last time out when beating Princess Taylor and although having a penalty for that win he has won off a higher mark in the past and under similar conditions here she is taken to win again. Falcon's Fire rates the main danger as he has won over hurdles and last time on the flat he was a fair third behind Mister Jingles he is another that will relish conditions and he should be watched in the market. Boz is a half brother to Bauer but looks to have limited ability . However his yard are in form and he could run into a place. Of the remainder President Dan is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he looks weighted up to his best and with this in mind for the winner we return to La Vecchia Scuola who looks to have plenty going for her today.
