Verdict

The 2m handicap from Newcastle on Saturday obviously has a part to play here with the gambled on Chain Of Beacons finally finishing a race off to win easily. Sky Full Of Stars unseated in that race and that detracted from the contest although despite winning his two previous races he’s never been the most consistent in the past. Roxyfet continues to flatter only to deceive and it may pay to give a chance to the dropped in class TRUST THOMAS here who is given a chance by the handicapper. Superior Command would be a danger if he found his form again but looks likely to need further than this 2m1f to show his best.
  1. Trust Thomas
  2. Chain Of Beacons
  3. Roxyfet
