        Verdict

        A wide open handicap hurdle here and many would have chances on their best form but the principals look to be Lady Ward, Zadok The Priest, Tarski and Thrashing and the tentative vote goes to Zadok The Priest. The selection was a good second behind Your A Gassman last time out. that form looks rock solid in the context of this race and with conditions in his favour he will hard to beat. Lady Ward rates the main danger she was a fair second behind Princess Grec last time but all her best form is over a shorter trip and for that reason she is opposed. Tarski is another worthy of respect he is well in on his best form but he may just need the run after a 230 day absence. Thrashing won well last time out when defeating Cody but that was in a seller over a longer trip and he will find this harder under his penalty. Of the remainder Arden Hills is from a yard in form and is worth as cautionary look in the market but for the winner we return to Zadok The Priest.
