Verdict

A competitive middle-distance handicap which features several performers who could still be ahead of the handicapper. Top weight Lugano was seriously progressive until failing at Ayr last time and there is every chance he will bounce back, while Stamford Raffles is on an upward curve and may not have been caught by the handicapper just yet. Archippos is another who may not have reached the ceiling of his ability, but the two who most catch the eye are THUNDERING BLUE and C'est No Mour. The latter has strong claims in his bid for a hat-trick, but the selection just gets the vote on the basis of a decisive win last time and the prospect of significant improvement over this trip.
  1. Thundering Blue
  2. C'est No Mour
  3. Lugano
