Verdict

A competitive heat but a chance is taken on MOUNT MEWS who gets first-time headgear. He put in an improved performance on his return at Wetherby in November and he may be able to build on that here. Notre Pari could be on a nice mark for his handicap debut. Whiskey In The Jar is another to consider if ready to go on return to action.
  1. Mount Mews
  2. Notre Pari
  3. Whiskey In The Jar
