        Verdict

        A tight handicap here for punters to solve but the principals look to be Gilded Cove, Dapple Dawn and Buzzin'boyzee and the narrow vote is given to Gilded Cove. The selection was a fair second behind the in-form Millfields Dream last time out and off the same mark and with the step up in trip looking to be in his favour he is taken to score. Dapple Dawn rates the main danger on his latest second behind Ektimaal but he is rising in the weights without winning and is taken on with this in mind. Buzzin'boyzee is another that could go well on his latest third behind Marko Jadeo but consistency is not his strong point. Of the remainder Carcinetto and Dvinsky would have chances if in the mood but for the winner we return to Gilded Cove who at least ran well last time out.
