Verdict

A really intriguing 3-y-o handicap and despite a less-than-ideal draw it could pay to side with THEORYOFEVERYTHING. A most impressive winner on debut at Doncaster, he ran well upped markedly in class when third in the Greenham at Newbury subsequently and there's highly likely more to come now handicapping. Easy Beverley scorer Vetiver is feared from a handy draw, along with Urban Sprawl and Lord Uhtred.
