Verdict

A typically competitive sprint handicap to start the card. Charlie Hills won last year's renewal of this race and the Lambourn handler has started the season in fine form. He runs Shanghai Glory who is back on a nice mark and ought to appreciate conditions here. However, preference is for AEOLUS who is too well-handicapped to ignore and he ran well at Doncaster towards the end of last season. Eastern Impact is another well-handicapped sort who can't be ruled out while Swift Approval could run well, particularly if gifted an easy lead.
  1. Aeolus
  2. Shanghai Glory
  3. Eastern Impact
