Verdict

A fiendishly difficult puzzle to solve in the finale. Baby Steps is considered after turning over a warm favourite when grinding out his first win on the AW recently. Wasntexpectingthat is the dark horse in this contest as he returns from a 117-day break after having wind surgery to solve what may have been the problem when he flopped last time out. However, the pair to focus on are Highly Sprung and MAGICAL EFFECT. The pair both have admirable records over C&D, and are closely matched on the form of their encounter here 10 days ago. The latter is narrowly fancied to reverse the form after he suffered trouble in-running at a vital time when the pair last met.
  1. Magical Effect
  2. Highly Sprung
  3. Baby Steps
