Verdict

Very hard to rule out most of this field, with both the veteran Lucky Lodge and the unpredictable Global Hope not fully discounted. Oriental Lilly has solid place claims over a C&D she tends to go very well at, as shown by her recent third here last month. Since moving to James Ferguson, The Right Choice has done everything but win in three starts and he looks sure to be firmly on the premises again. However, preference is for the lightly raced HASSAAD who drops in class after running respectably in third at Kempton last time out. He went close in this grade over C&D prior to that and this looks a good opportunity for him to get off the mark in handicaps.
  1. Hassaad
  2. The Right Choice
  3. Oriental Lilly
