Verdict

The last six runnings of this handicap have been won by 4-y-os and OBSIDIAN KNIGHT is taken to uphold that trend on his turf debut. He completely misfired at Lingfield last time, but that was too bad to be true and he remains with potential. Eagle Court's reappearance effort over a trip short of his best at Newbury was encouraging and he is respected with that run under his belt, while Highwaygrey, who has been given a chance by the handicapper, and Midrarr are others to consider.

  1. OBSIDIAN KNIGHT (IRE)
  2. EAGLE COURT (IRE)
  3. HIGHWAYGREY
