Verdict

A cracking handicap in which a case can be made for many of the runners. Lagostovegas is a fascinating contender on her first start for her top trainer, while the same applies to Moonday Sun, who had no chance at the weights against a progressive type last time and runs for new connections. However, LIGHT THAT ran a fine race at Punchestown last time and can continue the terrific form of his stable. Velvet Maker, who is off a lower rating than his chase mark, can make a bold bid, along with After Rain.
  1. Light That
  2. Moonday Sun
  3. Velvet Maker
