Verdict

It might be worth taking a chance on SHEPHERD'S PURSE in first-time headgear after some promising races in defeat of late. Ice Age won a valuable handicap over course and distance last year and has claims again but Gunmetal may be the main danger in his hat-trick bid.
  1. Shepherd's Purse
  2. Gunmetal
  3. Ice Age
