Verdict

Another poor heat to conclude the Brighton action. First time back on turf could be the ideal moment to catch Blistering Dancer in his prime, as he demonstrated when dispatching a big field at Thirsk last April, whilst the veteran Sir Geoffrey is well handicapped and with Brighton not being totally dissimilar to Catterick, he could prove suited by the switchback nature of this track. However, we know that VIRILE goes well here, and comes into this race in far better form than most.
  1. Virile
  2. Blistering Dancer
  3. Sir Geoffrey
