      Verdict

      Tawaaf, Chief Commander and Keel are three against the field in a tight handicap and the confident vote is given to Tawaaf. The selection won a maiden in good style when beating Bellabelini last time out. He enters handicaps on a handy mark and from a good draw he looks the one to be on. Chief Commander rates the main danger as he won well last time out when beating Art Elegant but that form has since been let down and he looks vulnerable off this mark so he is passed over on this ocassion. Keel is another last time out winner that could go well as he beat Pab Special with a little in hand last time but the handicapper appears to have taken no chances and for that reason he is opposed. Of the remainder Sigismundus has shown a modicum of ability and could go well at a price but he looks exposed and for the winner we return to Tawaaf.
