      Verdict

      This looks a really good little handicap and although Sula Two Bondage and Dhan Dhana are all last time out winners a chance is taken with handicap debutante AFFINITY. His run on debut behind Lady Éclair not only looks very strong form but would also suggest that he's well treated so this progressive type can win under an inform jock. Out of the trio of last time out winners Bondage looks the biggest danger as he was comfortable in success last time so can go well from a revised mark. The other pair where only just good enough so might be stepped by the handicapper but it could be that Affinity is the best weighted in the line-up.
