      Verdict

      Millionaire Waltz has won his last three here though all at Class 6 level and he’s up 6lb for his latest success. The veteran FIRMAMENT has generally performed at a higher level than this, winning a Class 3 handicap over the track and trip in September and finding a slow pace against him last time. He can give the weight away though Oso Rapido arrives in top form and though his latest victory here came over 6f he has no problems staying the extra. Lead Story has only gone up 2lb for a recent course and distance victory though takes a step-up in grade while none of the remainder can be dismissed in a tight-looking handicap.
