Verdict

TOP NOTCH can put a disappointing effort last time out behind him by recording his third victory of the season in this six runner Grade 2 contest. The forecast underfoot conditions should suit Nicky Henderson's charge and he is taken to get the better of Double Shuffle who showed good form in the spring while Art Mauresque can finish third dropping in trip.
  1. Top Notch
  2. Double Shuffle
  3. Art Mauresque
