Surya (6/5), Baydar (10/3), Garbanzo (4/1), Dominating (10/1), Great Hall (16/1), Saigon City (18/1), Stormin Tom (20/1), Suegioo (25/1), Brandon Castle (25/1)

Verdict

A super little race, which has presumably been the intended target for the progressive Surya since his C&D handicap debut win in July. Raised 8lb, there's a theory which suggests that's lenient with the form handsomely franked by the likes of Winds Of Fire (second), Nibras Galaxy (third) and Ashington (fourth). However, he'll be short in the betting and there are others with live chances, namely the four-timer seeking Garbanzo and the very interesting BAYDAR. The selection is unexposed at this trip, and showed improvement in the visor at Chester latest (finished in front of both Suegioo and Stormin Tom), and he remains well treated on his 3yo 1m2f form.
  1. Baydar
  2. Surya
  3. Garbanzo
