Verdict

Though he's up against younger rivals with more compelling recent form, SCARLET DRAGON is very tempting back into 0-85 company for the first time since winning back-to-back handicaps at this course in 2016. The 9-y-o gets the nod ahead of the 3-y-o in the line-up, Zain Nights, who went close upped to 11f on his handicap bow here last month and, with just four runs under his belt, probably has more to offer. Frontispiece and the hat-trick seeking Grand Scheme also command respect.

  1. SCARLET DRAGON
  2. ZAIN NIGHTS
  3. FRONTISPIECE
