Verdict

Quite a few in here that have a positive profile and can be thought of as being able to win or win again this year with Black Isle Boy coming here looking for a four-timer and El Hombre for a hat-trick. Both are worthy of respect but face some decent types here and the thought might be that the handicapper has caught up with them now. Espirit De Corps deserves another chance for a yard that do well with their rare runners here with Parnassian probably better after his initial effort this year. Overall though with the Dods yard starting to fire HOLMESWOOD looks the one of most interest with his full potential yet to be revealed and the blinkers going on for the first time around a track that he should be more at home on and from a good inside draw.
  1. Holmeswood
  2. El Hombre
  3. Esprit De Corps
