Master Of Finance (3/1), Dear Sire (3/1), Chieftain's Choice (9/2), Beyondtemptation (9/2), Atomix (6/1), Pot Committed (12/1), Rouge Et Sage (20/1), Duke Of Sonning (80/1)

Verdict

A very competitive handicap in which the pace promises to be fierce. Beyondtemptation ought to really have a race named after her at this track, and she seeks to follow up in this race, as she did here last month when winning a 2m4f handicap by 4L. However, both Chieftain's Choice and DEAR SIRE also come into this contest in fine fettle, with the former a revitalised one time promising novice, and the latter showing his rivals a clean pair of heels at Wetherby recently. A 5lb rise might not be enough to stop Dear Sire following up, and his turn of foot can be deployed to maximum effect if settled nicely off a strong pace.
  1. Dear Sire
  2. Chieftain's Choice
  3. Beyondtemptation
