Verdict

NOTEBOOK is a tentative chocie in a race of generally disappointing horses. He went close at Wetherby last month and a repeat of that effort might well be good enough here. Main danger could be Sky Full of Stars who knows how to win and any rain will help his cause. Any money for handicap debutant Bulls Head would be interesting as he returns from a long absence and makes his first start for new connections. The rest need quite a leap of faith.
