        Verdict

        Rakata, Laconicos, Mollyputtheketelon and Circumspect are a handful against the field in this maiden handicap and the vote is given to the last named. The selection has shown ability on this surface in the past and although he has become disappointing of late he has dropped to a handy mark and with the return to this trip sure to suit he looks the value bet in an open affair. Rakata rates the main danger on his latest second behind Whychbury that form looks rock solid in the context of this race but his stable are woefully out of form of late and for that reason he is opposed. Laconicos is another worthy of respect on his latest sixth behind Highest Regard. The booking of Seb Sanders catches the eye but he has had plenty of chances. Mollyputtheketelon has the ability to go close but has been tried over a veriety of trips without success and is beginning to look triples. Of the remainder Out Of India is from a yard in form and could run well at a price but for the winner we return to Circumspect who looks a value bet in an open affair.
