      In depth

      Verdict

      Princess Cocoa, Scamperdale and My Michelle are three against the field in a competitive handicap and the vote is given to Scamperdale. The selection won well last time out when beating Kingsholm, that horse has since franked the form and off what remains a fair mark he looks the one to be on. Princess Cocoa rates the main danger on her latest second behind Hoh Wotanite but she often finds less than expected off the bridle and at likely odds she looks worth taking on. My Michelle is another worthy of respect but she ran as if in the handicappers grip last time out and again looks vulnerable off this mark. Of the others Abbondanza is another that looks weighted up to his best and for the winner we return to Scamperdale.
