Verdict

A wide-open handicap in which marginal preference is for SECRET STRENGTH who didn't enjoy the rub of the green when third at Newbury recently and can capitalise on a handy mark now to end his losing run. Midnight Moll is much less exposed and feared most going into handicaps, although Dark Swansong, Ideal Guest and Majestic Fighter need shortlisting too.

  1. SECRET STRENGTH (IRE)
  2. MIDNIGHT MOLL (IRE)
  3. DARK SWANSONG (IRE)
