Verdict

A highly competitive second running of this valuable race where Masham Star will look to follow up on last year's win, however his progressive stablemates Vale Of Kent and Rufus King may be more likely winners this time around. Lucymai loves this track but faces severe competition for the lead and that may set it up for a closer such as MANKIB whose narrow margin wins could leave him ahead of the handicapper with plenty more potential still in the locker. Cenotaph has proved a wonderful acquisition in winning both starts for new connections and rates a clear danger on a surface he seems to revel on.
  1. Mankib
  2. Cenotaph
  3. Vale Of Kent
