Verdict

Unlike in Division 1 35 minutes earlier, there isn't an obvious standout contender, so we can do some outside of the box thinking. Both Majestic Stone and Picks Pinta have stamina to prove over this 7f trip, but could be on the premises in a very winnable race if staying. Motahassen tops the weights for his UK/handicap debut, but hadn't shown much promise for previous trainer Dermot Weld, whilst the sharp track regular Deben might've entered the equation with a better draw. However, we'll take a plunge into the unknown with the first time tongue-tied EXCELLENT STORY. He's not shown anything yet, but time is still on his side and he's well drawn in stall two.
  1. Excellent Story
  2. Majestic Stone
  3. Picks Pinta
