      Verdict

      Diamonds And Dust gets the vote in this handicap with Sew'n'so Character and Calcutta rating the main dangers. The selection won well last time out when beating Skidrow and although having a penalty for that win he again has conditions to suit and he is taken to defy the handicapper. Sew'n'so Character rates the main danger as he also won well last time out when beating Kelucia but this looks more competitive and as consistency is not his strong point he looks worth taking on under his penalty. Calcutta was behind Sew'n'so Character last time and although better off at the weights his overall profile leaves him with a little to find. Of the remainder Mutawaffer, has dropped to a handy mark and with his yard in good form he should be noted in the market but for the winner we are happy to return to Diamonds And Dust.
