Verdict

A cracking handicap to open the meeting with the vote going to WINGED MESSENGER, who shaped with plenty of promise on reappearance and the return to 6f is sure to suit. Auric has progressed by the run and further improvement cannot be ruled out, with Old Chums dangerous from stall 2 if replicating his AW form.

  1. WINGED MESSENGER
  2. AURIC (IRE)
  3. OLD CHUMS (IRE)
