        Verdict

        The three recent winners Comeintothespace, High Dyke and Fair Along could fight out the finish here and we will take a chance on Fair Along. Paul Blockley's gelding returned to winning ways at Southwell last time beating Optimum by a neck. He was also successful on this course when trained by Willie Jarvis so has plenty in his favour. High Dyke has to shoulder top-weight here but arrives in great form having easily beaten The Plainsman at Southwell. That was in a maiden but his previous handicap form stands up to close scrutiny and he should be involved in the finish.Comeintothespace beat Spence Appeal in a seller last time and doesn't look badly treated in this higher grade. Watch for any market moves on Asteem who is lightly raced and from a shrewd yard, but the safest proposition here could be Fair Along, who just edges the verdict.
