Verdict

A problematic end to the card with devious little handicap where nothing has a solid profile. Elite Icon hasn’t been seen out for a while and he looked a hard ride last time when ending 2017 on a winning note although he did find plenty for pressure but will this ground have enough give in it for him. Cosmic Tigress has run well here before and must come into the picture along with London Glory who looks on a favourable mark over a trip that suits. Overhaugh Street like his stable doesn’t really look to be firing yet and a chance is taken with PICTURE PAINTER who is well handicapped on his hurdles form and might at last be able to land a Flat victory.
  1. Picture Painter
  2. Cosmic Tigress
  3. Elite Icon
