        Verdict

        Bogaz, Set Alight and Azreme look to be the leading players in this handicap and the vote is given to the last mentioned. The selection was unlucky in running in a competitive race at Kempton last time behind Flint River. He finished in mid-division that day but he would have finished a lot further up the field if he hadn't been hampered, and with a little more luck in running today he should go close. Bogaz was a beaten favourite here last time, but he was giving weight away all around that day and he certainly wasn't disgraced. Set Alight was a fair fourth behind Mistral Sky at Wolverhampton last time, but her trainer has expressed concern that her busy schedule might be catching up with her and on that basis she may be best watched on this occasion. Mission Affirmed should be suited by the drop in trip and he is another to consider, but for the winner we return to Azreme.
