Verdict

A very competitive Class 2 handicap for the Watson Memorial Trophy featuring a number of in-form horses. Club Wexford has been kept busy in recent weeks and more than held his own in the historic Carlisle Bell (Mikmak an eye-catcher in behind) last Wednesday. Never Be Enough is a likeable filly who enjoys her visits to Hamilton Park. She takes a step up in grade under a 5lb penalty for her win here last Thursday. The fast improving 3yo Coolagh Forest is another of note despite a hefty weights rise, but a very tentative shout is for the Mark Johnston-trained VICTORY COMMAND who contested the Britannia Stakes (sixth) at Royal Ascot latest.
