Verdict

This is a well-contested stayers handicap. After a below-par effort two starts back, The Resdev Way ran very well at York behind two classier sorts over slightly further than this last week and he should appreciate the drop in trip/grade. He should continue in his good vein of form, while Beer With The Boys should also show marked improvement upon his reappearance effort at Sandown last time which he may have needed. However, this can go to MATCHMAKING who has been held back from making his seasonal return until his stable were back to form. He has shown he goes well fresh and was on a steep upward curve last season before something was amiss on his final start of 2018.
