        Verdict

        Division Two of the 11-furlong handicap can go to Choristar, who is selected ahead of Nimello and Boppy's Dancer. This is a modest race and Choristar would hold a very good chance if running to his autumn Turf form of last year - and he has shown that he can act on today's surface. Nimello still retains enough ability to run well at this level and he comes here on the back of a decent course and distance third to Bolckow, while River Logic has improved of late over hurdles and might be capable of going well, although he has never run at this track. Overall, the others have a bit to prove in terms of winning although connections of Boppy's Dancer, Futoo, Domenico and Twilight Avenger will be hopeful of bagging some money. For the selection, though, it has to be Choristar.
