        Verdict

        Corum, Russian Consort and Rhinebird are three against the field in this handicap and the vote is given to Corum. The selection won well last time out when beating Alhaajes and in receipt of all the weight for age allowances he looks the value bet in an open affair. Russian Consort rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind Great Plains but he will do well to give weight and a beating to the unexposed selection. Rhinebird is another that could go well as he won a maiden in good style last time out when beating Dubai Melody but that form has since been let down and he may be on a high enough mark. Mutawaffer has dropped to a handy mark and could go well with Frankie Dettori booked but he is becoming hard to win with. Of the remainder, Wellington Hall is best when allowed to dominate and as that does not look likely he is worth taking on and with this in mind for the winner we return to the unexposed Corum.
