Verdict

A smashing contest featuring an array of progressive horses, in addition to the top-class handicap chaser Lake View Lad (has late-season targets at Cheltenham and Aintree). Bialco is 2-2 over hurdles at Kelso and must be considered as a major player despite dropping back in trip, while it's impossible to knock anything that the lightly-raced The Con Man has achieved under rules since joining Donald McCain for £70,000. However, as a half-brother to the 3m2f hunter chaser Digg Whitaker, the talented nine-year-old MCGOWAN'S PASS can silence any stamina doubters, swiftly doubling-up his smooth and taking success at Ayr (2m, heavy) three weeks ago.
  1. Mcgowan's Pass
  2. The Con Man
  3. Bialco
