Verdict

Handicap debutant BORIS GRISHENKO can register his first victory over hurdles now switched to handicaps. The selection represents a top yard and can get the better of Arctic Light who can finish runner-up on his return from a break. Third place can go to Jessamine who is lightly raced over hurdles and remains open to improvement.
  1. Boris Grishenko
  2. Arctic Light
  3. Jessamine
