Verdict

EPONINA knows where the winning post is here and might prove the answer to this tight-looking handicap. Recent C&D scorer Nine Elms is feared most, while Hot Chesnut is nicely handicpped if ready to roll after 170 days off the track.

  1. EPONINA (IRE)
  2. NINE ELMS (USA)
  3. HOT CHESNUT
