      Verdict

      Coat of Honour, Armaguedon and Turgeonev look the three to concentrate on in this handicap chase and the vote is given to Coat Of Honour. The selection won well last time out when beating Jurado Express and although having a penalty for that win he again has conditions to suit and he is taken to defy the handicapper. Armaguedon rates the main danger as he also won well last time out when beating Stormy Beach but this looks more competitive and he is taken on with this in mind. Turgeonev was a fair second behind Bishops Bridge last time and is well weighted on his best form but he is becoming hard to win with. Of the remainder, Bambi de L'Orme is from a yard in form and could go well at a price but he is more exposed than some of his rivals and for the winner we return to Coat Of Honour.
