    Verdict

    An interesting stayers' handicap where REMEMBER RAMON is given the vote to outpoint Wild Rhubarb and Right Stuff. The selection reverts to 1m 6f, a trip over which he enjoyed his most recent success at Wolverhampton. Jeremy Gask has his string in good form at present and he has given this Diesis gelding plenty of time between recent runs, which can hopefully pay dividends today. Wild Rhubarb is lightly raced, having had just six career starts, and she may be capable of further improvement at some stage, though just a 1lb drop for her recent Sandown defeat is perhaps not enough for now. Right Stuff is effective over both 10 and 12 furlongs, scoring over the latter at Kempton in April. A 5lb rise for that success now means he needs a career best to score here and we will take him on. Peter Hiatt's runners are going well and so Maslak might be able to get involved from what looks a good mark, although he has stamina to prove. Colonel Flay has conditions and trip in his favour and gets on well with Jack Mitchell. From this mark he looks a leading player, but Remember Ramon gets the vote.
