      Verdict

      Taffe beat PROFILE STAR at Lingfield in December and is a pound better off. However, David Barron's gelding may hold a fitness advantage here and was placed at Ayr and York last month. He's edging up the weights but should go close this evening. I'm So Glad was a ready winner on soft ground at Windsor nine days ago and Personal Touch was only beaten a neck at Chester last time, though is closely matched with Rusty Rocket on earlier Nottingham running. Wicked Wench and Chooseday also have the ability to figure in a competitive-looking handicap.
