Verdict

VOLTERRA impressed with how he travelled through the race when winning at Redcar on his final start last year and, with further improvement to come, he is taken to follow up on his handicap/seasonal debut. Silent Age wasn't able to land the hat-trick on his latest outing but is respected as he makes the switch to a handicap, with Olympic Candle completing the shortlist.

  2. SILENT AGE (FR)
  3. OLYMPIC CANDLE (IRE)
