Verdict

Ultra-competitive and you could probably state a reasoned case for all bar the Phil Kirby pair (Lady Camelot and Ravenscar). Persian Sun has proved consistent from his current mark and returns to the scene of his 1m4½f novice win (Dec 2018). Jus Pires remains lightly raced for Declan Carroll, making the frame post wind surgery in a muddling 1m4½f affair. However, the form line to focus upon features HOWZER BLACK, Corked and Paddyplex. The selection was patiently handled (ridden to stay) when a nearest at the finish fourth on his first attempt at this 1m2f trip (over C&D) three weeks ago. He remains on a perfectly feasible handicap mark of 75.
  1. Howzer Black
  2. Persian Sun
  3. Paddyplex
