      Verdict

      RHOMBUS won a handicap at Nottingham off a mark of 95 last year. He’s subsequently joined John Butler and won’t have to run anywhere near that mark to land this on his return to action. Rated 76, Hard To Handel comes out next best and won a claimer at Redcar last month. He, in turn, is clear of July’s 1m6f winner Street Outlaw. The remaining pair have little chance on these terms and are easily dismissed.
