      Verdict

      This handicap can go the way of Karlani; Corum and Abstract Folly are others for the shortlist. The selection won well last time at Newcastle when beating Atlantic Coast, and with that confidence booster under his belt he can go in again with conditions once more in his favour. Corum was well beaten at Pontefract last time but this step-up in trip will suit and he should be seen in a better light today. Abstract Folly was a workmanlike winner at Redcar last time but he has yet to prove his stamina over 2m and he is taken on for that reason. Doctor Scott could go well at a price, although he is not the most consistent and our preference is for Karlani who represents a solid bet.
