Verdict

An extremely tricky handicap in which the three at the head of the weights, Gordon Lord Byron, Elleval and Russian Soul, hold each-way claims. However, preference is for CASCAVELLE, who has to cope with a hike in the weights, but is progressing at a fair rate and could be up to the task. Fuwairt, Geological, Secret Wizard and Togoville are also respected.
  1. Cascavelle
