Verdict

Longroom has shot up the ratings this season with three wins, two of them over C&D, and he showed here last time that he isn't necessarily finished yet. He should run his race once more could be vulnerable to something better handicapped now. Alsvinder could fit that bill, though he has got to prove his effectiveness on turf and the form of the O'Meara yard is a concern for now. Desert Law has gone well in big sprint handicaps at Epsom and the Curragh this term while Queen In Waiting and previous C&D scorer Fumbo Jumbo are possibles. ROZY BOYS could prove worth following this term, a winner on debut at Wolverhampton last term, he makes his turf/handicap debut in this and, with just two starts behind him, has scope to improve for a yard that does well with sprinters if he can overcome a wide berth on his seasonal bow.
  1. Rozy Boys
  2. Desert Law
  3. Longroom
