Verdict

This is a very tricky handicap given most of these three-year-olds are stepping up in trip for the first time here, but the tentative suggestion is WINSTON C. Michael Bell's charge has always seemed to possess some untapped potential and it's just possible that these extra two furlongs could bring it out in him. The ground and draw both shouldn't be a problem for him and the stable is currently in fairly good form as well. Queen's Vase third Secret Advisor and Sir Michael Stoute's Intellect are others to consider in what looks to be a fiercely competitive race.
