        Verdict

        An interesting handicap where Borasco is taken to be too good for The Game, while Pavershooz is among others of note. Borasco was a very ready scorer over 7f at Newcastle last time when there was cut in the ground, and he has also won on soft. Although yet to win over this trip he has performed with credit, and with rains forecast and such an eyecatching win last time we will back him to follow up. The Game also landed his last race, a 6f Newmarket handicap on fast ground. He too handles cut, so the rain hopefully won't inconvenience and he can again go well, though he has been beaten off similar marks. Pavershooz has risen in the weights after landing handicaps over this trip at Catterick and Ayr, and he looked in the grip of the handicapper last time, so we'll take him on. Rubirosa and Novellen Lad both look exposed now, but the opposite can be said of Only A Game, on turf at least, and he is an interesting runner here, but preference is for Borasco.
