Verdict

The 2017 renewal of the Beeswing Handicap sees HORROOB arrive as a fairly progressive three-year-old for Roger Varian. He has kept lofty company on turf since recording back to back 7f victories on Polytrack, and there's every likelihood that we've not seen the best of this lightly raced sort just yet. This is a better option than the Britannia Handicap and he has the services of an excellent 5lb claimer booked to do the steering. 2016 runner up Northgate Lad (also drawn low) would represent a solid alternative, and the top-weighted Horsted Keynes is likely to be on the premises judged upon his previous third to Suzi's Connoisseur over C&D in February.
