Verdict

If the quirky HIGHLAND PASS is to win a handicap, then she will find few better opportunities with both her trainer and jockey at the top of their games right now, and she is very well treated given her inherent ability. Recent Epsom second The Lords Walk is respected, as is Lifeboat, who hinted at a revival when fifth at Leicester last time, and ran his best race last year at this venue.
