    Verdict

    Only four runners go to post for this handicap and we will put forward Charlotte Vale to get the better of Tartan Tie; Sculastic is the other serious contender. The selection is the only course and distance in the field and she confirmed her well-being with a decent effort at Doncaster last time. The drop back in trip will suit her and she should be hard to beat. Tartan Tie finished down the field at Newmarket last time but this is not as competitive and he does have his optimum ground conditions. Howard Johnson¿s Sculastic returns to the level after a spell over hurdles, but he has yet to win on the flat and he may have a bit to find. It will be a surprise if Dium Mac is good enough, and we will stick with Charlotte Vale to land the prize.
