Verdict

This is a seriously competitive three-year-old handicap in which all of the runners hold progressive profiles to varying degrees. The most appealing in the line-up is LAAFY who is well-handicapped after being raised just 2lbs for finishing second at York to a rival who was firmly on the up at the time in the shape of Summer Moon. It would be a surprise were there not more to come from him on just his fifth career start. Never Do Nothing is very likeable, as what he lacks for in ability he more than makes up for with determination, and that will work in his favour again. Just Benjamin is another name to note, with him being on a steep upward curve at present.
  1. Laafy
  2. Never Do Nothing
  3. Just Benjamin
