Verdict

Band of Outlaws won very impressively over C&D last time and is respected despite his hike up the weights, but preference is for AURORA ECLIPSE. She ran well twice in Listed races last year, and this return to handicap company looks like exactly what she wants to return to winning ways having won her maiden here, albeit over a shorter trip. In a race which could be dominated by those towards the top of the weights London Icon is also of interest.
  1. Aurora Eclipse
  2. Band of Outlaws
  3. London Icon
