Verdict

This is very competitive for the grade and not many can be left out of the equation with total confidence with Dandy Highwayman setting a good standard on form. He beat a Dalgleish horse last time and that may allow the trainer of Dark Defender know where he stands especially as that one has slipped back down below his last winning mark. Both Vallarta and Buccaneers Vault will have their supporters but GILMER with a fully-fledged rider replacing an inexperienced apprentice who may well be capable of taking this. He was in great form last year and ran a stormer last time out over 7f very much leaving the impression that a stronger ride would have seen him successful.
  1. Gilmer
