      Verdict

      ROBY DE CIMBRE should win with a clear round with both Hold Em and Outside Investor worth noting. The selection won three times last summer creeping up the weights in the process. He is possibly within the grip of the handicapper now but still holds onto his novice status and therefore connections have decided to run him in a non handicap before that status is lost at the end of the month. With this in mind he is well worth siding with. Hold Em comes into this race after what was an easy opportunity at Uttoxeter on Thursday. If he does take his chance once again he may well have to settle for second place only. Outside Investor looks out of it at the weights and would be receiving stones if this were a handicap and therefore he will struggle to overturn the two main rivals. So for the winner we return to Roby De Cimbre.
