Verdict

VENGEANCE's pedigree and run style suggests this trip will suit now handicapping, and while his opening mark isn't a gift, this isn't a strong race. He looks the answer, with EL Hageb Rose a big threat if able to back up his shock Plumpton win. Dusky Days may yet come good over timber and is another to consider.

  1. VENGEANCE
  2. EL HAGEB ROSE (FR)
  3. DUSKY DAYS (IRE)
