Verdict

At first glance, a competitive handicap for the stayers with a number of in-form horses in the line up, but on closer inspection, a race which could potentially be blown apart by the apparently thriving Warren Greatrex trained GREAT RETURN. He fair bolted up over 2m here recently and doesn't look like being troubled by a slight drop back in trip. His new trainer has unlocked his potential over staying trips on the AW, and he would appear to be well ahead of the handicapper under the mandatory 6lb penalty.
  1. Great Return
  2. London Glory
