Verdict

Given what she showed in maiden/novice races, there's every chance that an opening mark of 87 may slightly underrate VICTORY WAVE, and with William Cox taking 5lb off her back she make a winning handicap debut here, with further improvement a strong possibility. The others all appear to have their limitations, though Unforgiving Minute back to this trip and recent Kempton third Sir Roderic are both worthy of the place on the shortlist.
  1. Victory Wave
  2. Unforgiving Minute
  3. Sir Roderic
