Verdict

RADDON TOP likely has more to offer at this trip and is taken to defy the handicapper again and complete a hat-trick. Dynamite Kentucky is another with a progressive profile in handicaps so he's feared most ahead of Father John and Young Butler, who should find this a bit easier than the big-field Ascot race they contested in their sole previous handicap.
