Verdict

ABEL HANDY was highly tried having won a Group 2 over C&D in 2017, but he's begun to slip back down the weights at last and is drawn to showcase his speed on the far rail. Shamshon is wrong at the weights, but arguably generously treated on the form he's shown on the all-weather of late, and he is feared, as is Open Wide, assuming his high draw is no hardship.
  1. Abel Handy

  3. Open Wide
