Verdict

A tough little race despite the lack of numbers; as not too many can confidently be ruled out. However, BUBLE steps up to a more appropriate trip this evening and he just edges the nomination as the one to be on. Overtheedge is consistent in this grade but has lacked the resolution to get his head in front in his last three starts, so The Tailgater may pose a bigger threat if his jumping holds together this time around. Royal Debutante won well last time out but hasn't been given much leeway by the handicapper and would be facing a much sterner test on these terms were it not for her rider's 10lb claim.
  1. Buble
  2. The Tailgater
  3. Royal Debutante
