    Verdict

    Mark Brisbourne is always a trainer to have on your side on the all weather and his representative York Cliff can do us proud today, with the penalized Midshipman along with Iffy others to bear in mind if there are positive indications surrounding their chances. The last mentioned is only 2lb higher than he was when winning a handicap at Ascot in the summer and has claims on that run alone. However, he was disappointing here last time and has to banish the memory of that run before being a serious consideration at Dunstall Park. Midshipman has continually paid his way over the years and has adapted well to the new surface here. However, he carries a 7lb penalty and top weight here and, despite his rider's claim, looks opposable for win only purposes. Therefore, we switch allegiances to York Cliff, who shaped as if back to something like his best here nine days ago. Having raced off as high as 90 in the past, a current mark of 58 looks very lenient in the context of this race. So York Cliff is given the benefit of the doubt as he bids to exploit the handicapper's leniency.
