Verdict

Several interesting sorts in this led by the Gordon Elliott trained High Expectations who was running well in a better grade than this last time out before unseating and he’s sure to run a decent race. DELFACE comes from the Pipe stable that are showing much more of late and the fact that the cheekpieces go on for the first time on handicap debut suggest that they mean business here. General Ginger shaped with promise last time out and isn’t out of this while Pokora Du Lys and Capitoul could also make their mark although the latter did have rather a heavy fall last time which may have left it’s impression.
  1. Delface
  2. High Expectations
  3. General Ginger
