Verdict

Another chance is given to the Paul Nicholls-trained RARE MIDDLETON now taking a drop in class with a tongue tied added. Imperial Jade appeals as one who could have more to come in handicaps this term and is second choice ahead of Harel du Marais and Mrs Grimley.

  1. RARE MIDDLETON
  2. IMPERIAL JADE (IRE)
  3. HAREL DU MARAIS (FR)
