        Verdict

        Sherjawy, Figaro Flyer and Littledodayno look the three to concentrate on in this handicap and the vote goes to Sherjawy. The selection arrives here right on top of his game and and he is looking to complete a hat-trick of wins. He does have a penalty to overcome but he has a good draw and he remains on a fair mark and on the evidence of his most recent success, his penalty is unlikely to anchor him. Figaro Flyer ran a respectable race here last time but he looks a little high in the weights at present and he may have to settle for a minor role. Littledodayno has shown her best form of late at Kempton and she has been done no favours by the draw. However, she hails from a shrewd yard so is well worth monitoring in the market for any signs of stable confidence. A similar check on the market is advised for the Stuart Williams-trained Mambazo as that yard is also very shrewd. However, for the winner we are happy to recommend Sherjawy to score again.
