Verdict

Three-year-old handicaps always involve a certain amount of guesswork and a few of these may be capable of stepping up on what they have shown. Solid Man has been popular in the betting n his last two starts and has in a way shaped with some promise but he has looked a hard ride and the blinkers now go on for the first time back on the Polytrack. MINIATURE DAFFODIL looks far from the finished article but has scope in his handicap mark having only been raised 4lb for his last win and looks sure to go close again. Four Fifty Three may do better this time around but has work to do with the selection with Dorian Gray and Dragon Tattoo open to a little improvement.
  1. Miniature Daffodil
  2. Four Fifty Three
  3. Solid Man
