Verdict

TRAPRAIN LAW won a handicap over C&D easily on his penultimate start and was far from disgraced in a novice here subsequently, so he's a solid option in his bid to resume winning ways. Point recruit Galunggung is a clear danger and Fabuleux du Clos has claims if he's tuned up after another lengthy absence.
