Verdict

Richard Fahey has been the man to follow in this contest winning three of the six runnings and he runs Kimberella in this stepping up to 7f for the first time in a while and having to give weight all round. David O’Meara looks to hold a strong hand in this with So Beloved and FIRMAMENT representing him and although the former is the pick of Danny Tudhope the latter is preferred having run well in some tough handicaps last year. Commander Cole is the dark horse but has a very long absence to overcome here having shown up well when last seen on the course. Above The Rest could make his presence felt if he’s ready to go first time.
  1. Firmament
  2. So Beloved
  3. Above The Rest
