Verdict

HANDSTANDS looked potentially smart when winning a similar event at Sandown 5 weeks ago, having too much speed for his rivals on his first attempt at 3m, and can get the better of Saint Davy again back over this shorter trip under a 5 lb penalty. Cherie d'Am has continued her progress since switched to fences and is another to consider.
