Verdict

This looks trappy and the suggestion is HANDYTALK, who hasn't fired on his last 2 starts but the handicapper has relented (down to a career-low mark) and dropping back to the minimum trip here looks a good move. The hat-trick seeking Secret Potion has to be high on the shortlist, while Bellevarde is holding her form well and it'll be no surprise if she's again involved in the finish.

  1. HANDYTALK (IRE)
