Verdict

It was a strong-looking Newmarket handicap in which INDEPENDENT ACT finished fourth on his reappearance last month and, with the prospect of better to come from this son of Dubawi, he gets the nod. March Moon did the job well on the all-weather last time and has to be taken seriously, but the filly Australian Angel is feared most off a feather weight.

  1. INDEPENDENT ACT (IRE)
  2. AUSTRALIAN ANGEL
  3. MARCH MOON (IRE)
