Verdict

A really competitive heat, with NEW LONDON fancied to defy top weight dropping back into handicap company for the first time since winning at the July Meeting in 2022. Intinso should be suited by the longer distance this time and remains low-mileage in handicaps, with Vaguely Royal and the unexposed Cannon Rock others to consider.

  1. NEW LONDON (IRE)
  2. INTINSO
  3. VAGUELY ROYAL (IRE)
