Verdict

A really good handicap. NEVILLE'S CROSS had lots in hand at Hereford and may be capable of defying a double-figure rise with further progress very much on the cards. I'd Better Go Now is another who almost certainly has more to offer and rates a big threat, while Flinck leaves the impression 3m will suit and is also respected. Honest Vic and course-specialist Tobefair also make the shortlist.

  1. NEVILLE'S CROSS (IRE)
  2. I'D BETTER GO NOW (IRE)
  3. FLINCK (IRE)
