      Verdict

      This is probably the most competitive handicap on today’s card with three recent winners entered. Foreseeable Future is up 5lb for winning at Doncaster, when subsequent Wetherby scorer Tamaska was fourth, but is still 2lb out of the handicap. Epic Express is also up 5lb for a win over track and trip and Verreaux Eagle has been knocking on the door in better company. TASHKEER was only beaten a head dropping to this trip at Ayr so gets a narrow vote, though Must Be Royale should handle a switch to Turf and is worth a market check.
