    I'll leave you experts to thrash out this major handicap. I've narrowed it down to 7 and I've probably missed the winner

    Alben Star
    High Standing
    King Of Jazz
    Lightning Cloud
    Maarek
    Medicean Man
    Scarf

    If I was betting and had to pick just 1 I would plump for Lightning Cloud, best priced 10/1.

    Will be interesting to hear the expert views on this very tricky handicap

    LIGHTNING CLOUD'S defection from his target race today speaks volumes. They know they have a huge chance with a very well handicapped horse. Add to this the fact that it's drawn on the right side(my opinion) and you have a bet.

    Apparently it just sneaked in at the bottom of the handicap. Any idea when his entry to the Wokingham was confirmed. It was a very late withdrawal today.

    No idea Ron but they obviously found out that they had got in the W at bottom weight and changed the plan. I hope they got fined!

    Maarek to put in a monumental effort under 9-10 off a mark of 108 to land this!

    I'm sure he will run a big race ROTO. He's as game as they come and will love the ground. Can he give a stone (-1) to Lightning Cloud? It's a big ask.

    Remember that almighty gamble on Laddies Poker Two a couple of years ago? That was an amazing day.

    Id love to see Macs Power finally have his day in the sun, but i feel the ground has gone against him.*

    Medicean man ran a very good 4th in the King Stand, in what was a very hot renewal, with everything avoiding Black Caviar. Providing that hasn't taken to much out of him, I feel he will be tough to beat off a mark of 103 :biggrin:*
