Verdict

This looks trappy and the vote goes to EVEQUE, in the hope that he is fit enough to do himself justice on his first appearance since April. Jane Walton's charge was a creditable fourth in a more competitive C&D handicap when last seen and a reproduction of that would probably suffice. Tommydan has yet to trouble the judge over fences but is on a dangerous mark and could be the main threat, while Lights Are Green will have a fighting chance if returning to the form he showed earlier this year.

  1. EVEQUE (FR)
  2. TOMMYDAN (IRE)
  3. LIGHTS ARE GREEN (IRE)
