    In depth

    Verdict

    A tricky handicap that could fall to Grande Terre, Kaymich perfecto and Attacca are two others worthy of respect. The selection displayed much improved form last time when a staying on third behind Dream Rose at Pontefract. Cheek pieces are applied for the first time this evening and they will not have to bring out too much improvement for this one to take first prize. Kaymich Perfecto is at the top of his game, making it two wins on the bounce when beating Gifted Flame last time out. His massive weight burden is offset by the seven pound claimer and a big run can be expected. Attacca should appreciate this step up in trip following an excellent effort at Musselburgh last time. Spanish Law may do best of the others, but we ruturn to Grande Terre as the likely winner.
