Verdict

This isn't a particularly strong race and those at the head of the weights are of most interest, with the vote going to GROOM D'OUDAIRIES, who shaped well on handicap debut in a much deeper race at Ludlow last week, Don Alvaro has also ran with encouragement in handicaps, whilst Major Robinson should be capable of making the frame.

  1. GROOM D'OUDAIRIES (FR)
  2. DON ALVARO
  3. MAJOR ROBINSON (IRE)
