        Verdict

        The handicapper appeared to have caught up with hat-trick hero ONLY TEN PER CENT as he was well beaten on his penultimate start here. However, fresh from a short break, he went in again over 7f at this track last time and clearly hasn't stopped improving yet. Punching saves his best for this course but hasn't produced it of late though Opus Dei won his maiden over C&D back in 2010 and could figure on only his fifth start since. Pick A Little makes most appeal of the other previous C&D winners including Whisky Bravo.
