Verdict

Richard Fahey dominates the entries for this typically complex 3yo handicap fielding a quartet of challengers with two of them making their handicap debuts. The stable are struggling to get going after the resumption of racing but Exceptional does look interesting given that her full brother Don’t Touch was a very good 3yo. Not seen since Royal Ascot last year she’s worth watching. Vasari for the in-form Stoute yard must be respected although his draw looks a little awkward. LION TOWER seeks a hat-trick on his turf/handicap debut having looked very professional in two Fibresand 6f wins, his yard could not be in better health. Leapers Wood and Music Therapist are also of interest.
  1. Lion Tower
