        Verdict

        Hiddensee, Taxman and Wise Owl are three against the field in this tight handicap and the narrow vote is given to Taxman. The selection was a good second behind Mister Right last time out, that form has since been franked and off the same mark here he looks the one to be on. Hiddensee rates the main danger on his latest second behind Pseudonym but the drop in trip has to be of concern. Wise Owl was a fair second behind Llamadas last time and goes well at the track but he is best off a fast pace and as that does not look likely he looks worth taking on. Of the remainder Fisby could go well if fit but he may just need the run after 252 day absence and with this in mind for the winner we return to Taxman.
