Verdict

An intriguing handicap which sees five three-year-olds pitched in against a couple of their elders. The advantage looks to lie with the younger brigade and AIYA is particularly interesting given how well he ran last time out and the fact that his sire (Declaration of War) has already been responsible for an impressive dual Fibresand winner this winter. Beautiful Artist looks as though he’ll be able to make some more progress as does Going Native who got caught too far back last time out and a decent pace and return to a mile will suit her as she makes her yard/Fibresand debut. Epitaph has proved himself on here and although the drop in grade will suit the mile may prove on the sharp side for him while it will pay to be wary of the finishing effort of Far Dawn.
  1. Aiya
  2. Going Native
  3. Beautiful Artist
