Verdict

Not an easy card to find winners on, and this handicap typifies the open nature of the racing this afternoon. With Another Boy in stall 14 likely to make the pace, it may pay to stick with those drawn high and the improving three year olds ESPRIT DE CORPS and Crafty Madam may be the two to concentrate on. Preference is for the former, who has track form to his name, although Crafty Madam won't be an easy nut to crack. Scottish Glen holds no secrets from anyone but has a decent record in the garde and may be good enough for the bronze.
  1. Esprit De Corps
  2. Crafty Madam
  3. Scottish Glen
