Verdict

A number of these make their debuts in handicap company here, creating a bit of a conundrum for punters, but one of those, MIGHTY THUNDER, gets the vote. Lucinda Russell's five-year-old should welcome this step up in trip after a couple of decent efforts over shorter and he looks potentially well treated. A similar comment applies to Doc Carver, though he does have a bit to prove after his last two runs. Absolutely Dylan also looks to be fairly treated and is not ruled out, while Snougar is the other to catch the eye.
  1. Mighty Thunder
  2. Absolutely Dylan
  3. Snougar
