      Verdict

      Gaselee won a handicap over the trip on soft ground at Nottingham in October and further rain would greatly aid his cause though he's 9lb higher. DESCARO and Petella both go well here and fought out the finish over the C&D in August with the former just prevailing. There's virtually nothing in it at the weights this time but the winner just gets the nod to confirm the form and take this. Blazing Desert looks a threat as he is just 1lb higher than when scoring at Sandown in October and badly needed his comeback run in a better handicap than this at York.
