Verdict

Three-year-old handicaps are always a challenging puzzle at this time of the year and this one is no exception. Novoman will be among the leading contenders but a wide draw does temper enthusiasm> Richard Fahey has wheeled out four runners in this and the best of those would look to be the progressive Rashford’s Double who despite the rise in the weights comes here looking for a four-timer. Mark Johnston is another trainer who is multiply represented although all of his trio headed by Mailshot look to have tough tasks at the weights. Overall though MAZYOUN who is Hugo Palmer’s first Musselburgh runner looks to be the one who could be the pick of the weights especially on his third in a valuable Redcar sales race.
  1. Mazyoun
  2. Rashford's Double
  3. Novoman
