Verdict

With five C&D winners in the field they won’t need a map to guide them around here although this looks a tough test for at least three of those former winner here including the most recent Mr Sundowner who looked fortunate to land a Class 2 handicap here in September. Henry Smith and Jabbaar are closely matched on their running here last time and it won’t be a surprise to see the latter turn around the form from their last meeting. Henpecked is starting to look a rather luckless individual and a place may be the best she can manage again along with Nurse Nightingale who is starting to look exposed. Dalshand is still an unknown quantity with the stable still looking to find the key to him and MIXBOY is the suggestion given her still looks to have improvement in him off this mark on the Flat. He did too much too soon last time and will need to settle better here but if he does he could add a Flat handicap to his jumps victories.
  1. Mixboy
  2. Henry Smith
  3. Henpecked
