        Verdict

        Knight Of Silver, Ark Admiral and Sir Walter are three against the field in a wide open handicap and the tentative vote goes to Knight Of Silver. The selection won a conditional Jockey race in good style last time out when defeating Devote. He escapes a penalty for that win and with conditions again in his favour he will be hard to beat. Ark Admiral rates the main danger on his latest second behind Mr Whizz but that was in a seller and this looks more competitive and for that reason he is opposed. Sir Walter has been in fair form of late and is another that could go well he was a fair second behind Major Belle last time out but although he travels well in his races he finds little off the bridle so he is passed over on this occasion. Of the remainder Smoothie is from a yard in form so is worth a look in the market but for the winner we return to Knight Of Silver.
