      Verdict

      Young Mick gets the vote here with Hoh Bleu Dee and Rotuma rating the main dangers. The selection won well last time when beating Petite Paramour and although he has a penalty for that win this is a poor race and from a good draw he is taken to defy the handicaperHoh Bleu Dee rates the main danger on his latest second behind Augustine. This shorter trip looks sure to suit and he should be noted in the market. Rotuma is another worthy of respect on his best form but he is very hard to win with and he may just need the run after a 54 day absence. Spark Up is from a shrewd yard and has a good draw but he is far from consistent so can not be put forward with any confidence. Of the remainder Pharaoh Prince has dropped to a handy mark and is another with place claims but in a trappy affair for the winner we return to Young Mick who at least is in form.
