Verdict

PERFECT GENTLEMAN is generally progressive and stayed on nicely to finish second at Yarmouth last time, so he's fancied to get back to winning ways. Vegas Jack is in good form and could pose the main threat, although Goodwood Vision is a likely improver on handicap debut.

  1. PERFECT GENTLEMAN (IRE)
  2. VEGAS JACK
  3. GOODWOOD VISION
