Verdict

Small World justified strong support last time to score decisively in the hands of the champion jockey (missing today) for the first time. His ratings hike is somewhat negated by the claim, and he should be capable of going well again but is set to be priced accordingly. Blixt is not entirely written off, despite a flop on handicap debut, while last year's winner War Of The Pennys is on a positive mark now but hasn't look as good lately. Theydon Park and Whatsinaname could go well but, despite top weight, SWEET HOME CHICAGO may oblige on handicap debut. He relished this trip when last spotted in June at Wexford should give a decent account here.
  1. Sweet Home Chicago
  2. Small World
  3. Whatsinaname
