Verdict

Gardasee gets the vote here with Livingonaknifedge and Major Catch rating the main dangers. The selection won well last time out when beating Eborharry and although he has a penalty for that win he will love the ground and he is taken to defy the handicapper. Livingonaknifedge rates the main danger on his latest second behind Nous Voila. That form looks rock sol,id but he will do well to give weight and a beating to the selection. Major Catch won well last time out when beating Mr Mischief but this looks more competitive and he may struggle under his penalty. Of the remainder Lyster has shown a modicum of ability in three runs to date but he may be seen to better effect once handicapping and for the winner we return to Gardasee.
