Verdict

A good race in prospect for decent prize money. The 2017 winner Art Of Payroll has been sidelined for 487 days so it will be a mighty effort to come out and win this after such an absence, but he is respected. Top weight Lil Rockerfeller should give it a bold spin and a victory on handicap chase bow cannot be ruled out, but in receipt of 8lb ROYAL VILLAGE, second in the Listed Summer Plate last time, just gets the nod. The gallant mare Northern Beau is by no means out of it, but both Irish raider Mighty Stowaway and course specialist Too Many Diamonds needed to raise their games a notch to win.
  1. Royal Village
  2. Lil Rockerfeller
  3. Northern Beau
