        Verdict

        Qadar gets the tentative vote over Two Step Kid and First Order in this handicap. The selection has been knocking on the door of late and he has been given a short breather since his latest second to Areyoutalkingtome at Lingfield. He has a fair draw and looks the obvious choice. Two Step Kid has not raced in this country for over two years but he has been running with credit in America and this Jeremy Noseda-trained six-year-old should be closely monitored in the market. First Order finished behind our selection last time and although his yard are in good form he will find it difficult to get his head in front from his high draw as he does like to race prominently. Prince Tum Tum is better over a longer trip so looks worth taking on and with all this in mind we will return to Qadar who gets the vote to land a deserved success.
