Verdict

Several to consider in a very competitive handicap, with MOHAREB shading preference having returned to form following a break when chasing home a bang-in form rival in The Waiting Game (winner again since) at Chelmsford recently. It's best to overlook Skallywag Bay's latest effort at Chester where she was poorly drawn and, unbeaten in two starts on the all-weather, she has to be feared, while the hat-trick seeking Phoenix Star and Song of Success are accorded respect.

  1. MOHAREB
  2. SKALLYWAG BAY
  3. PHOENIX STAR (IRE)
