Verdict

A competitive heat, with all six holding sound claims. THE GREY FALCO tanked along and wasn't extended to win at Southwell last time so gets the nod despite a chunky rise in the weights. Phoenix Risen has been a different proposition since cheekpieces were applied and can go well again, as can recent C&D winner Clearance.

  1. THE GREY FALCO (FR)
  2. PHOENIX RISEN
  3. CLEARANCE
