Verdict

The vote in this tricky-looking handicap goes to ZOZIMUS, who has largely contested higher-grade handicaps than this since joining the David O'Meara yard. The 5-y-o has slipped to an attractive mark and perhaps the fitting of more severe headgear (first-time visor replaces usual cheekpieces) may help spark a return to form. Global Spirit has also been given some respite by the assessor and he is feared, along with On The River, Poet's Dawn and Give It Some Teddy (in order of preference).

  1. ZOZIMUS (IRE)
  2. GLOBAL SPIRIT
  3. ON THE RIVER
