        Verdict

        A tough race to call here for punters with very little between many of the leading lights but the principals look to be Count Ceprano,Golden Prospect and Dickie Le Davoir and the tentative nomination is given to Count Ceprano. The selection was a fair second behind Makbar last time out, that form has since been franked and despite top weight will be hard to beat. Golden Prospect rates the main danger as he won well last time out when beating Kensington, however this looks tougher and he looks vulnerable under a penalty. Dickie Le Davoir has been in good form of late in sellers and claimers but he will need to improve to win off this mark back in Handicap Company. Of the remainder Divertimenti shaped as if returning to form last time out and could go well at a price while Chief Exec is sure to run his race but is in the handicapper's grip at present and Count Ceprano gets the nod.
