        Verdict

        A competitive handicap hurdle here and many can be given chances on their best form and the principals look to be Sun King, Bolshoi Ballet, Celtic Blaze and Belcaro and the tentative vote goes to Sun King. The selection was a fair second behind Hau Pang Yau last time having been given plenty to do and off the same mark here and with conditions again in his favour he will be hard to beat. Bolshoi Ballet rates the main danger he was a fair fifth behind Middlethorpe last time out but his best form is on softer ground and for that reason he is opposed. Celtic Blaze is another that could go well he was a fair fourth behind Kalou last time and is sure to have come on for the run so he has definite place claims. Belcaro is another worthy of respect as he is one of the least exposed in the field and he was a fair fifth behind Penny Pictures last time and this looks easier so he has definite place claims. Of the remainder Mister Chisum has dropped to a handy mark and could go well at a price but for the winner we return to Sun King.
