      Verdict

      Tartatartufata is taken to win this at the expense of Count Cougar and Fizzlephut. The selection was in winning action over course and distance last month and caught the eye when second to his rival Count Cougar last time out of which he runs off the same mark here for a three quarter of a length beating. Count Cougar on the other hand now carries a six pound penalty so if the same race was to be repeated the result in theory should be reversed. The other horse to take note of is Fizzlephut who has caught the eye with a string of seconds recently and was not far behind Smokin Beau at Kempton last time out and that form is working out well. But for the winner we return to Tartatartufata.
