Verdict

READY AND ABLE has made a mockery of his initial rating in this sphere, racking up a hat-trick, and he improved further for the step up to 3m at Aintree last time. He can continue to defy the handicapper at the main expense of Jersey Bean, who is unexposed in handicaps, particularly given a test of stamina. Ocean Cove also fits the bill in that regard, and completes the shortlist against more experienced rivals.
  1. Ready And Able
  2. Jersey Bean
  3. Ocean Cove
