Verdict

There's a couple of National Hunt horses who would appear to have been let in lightly by the handicapper here. Most notably, ELGIN could prove very well-handicapped off this mark and he arrives bidding for a hat-trick. He's taken to get the better of Project Bluebook who himself has run some fair races on the Flat. Hamada shouldn't be ruled out and he won in better fashion than the winning margin suggested at York last time.
