        Verdict

        Today may well be the day for Xaloc Bay and Karl Burke's charge may be the solution to a tricky race after a confidence boosting effort at Southwell last time. The five-year-old is preferred over Waxwing, Chorus and Pips Song, who should be involved in the shake-up but have never been noted for their consistency. Xaloc Bay acts well on this surface and, although this is a much lower target than his connections initially had in mind for him after he showed plenty of promise earlier in his career, he still has a race of this nature well within him. It took him what seemed an eternity to run off a mark in the eighties after a promising two-year-old campaign. But he should not be too far away off a lowly mark of 58 today. Chorus will find this a tougher assignment than when she won a weak fillies handicap over course and distance last time, so Pips Song, who pops up in races like this every once in a while, is taken to give Xaloc Bay the most to do.
