Verdict

Not an easy race to call with all of the leading contenders having given the impression they would be better over longer trips. GORTROE JOE is the clear pick on form and has progressed with each run. The Skelton representative drops in class and ma have too much class for Melangerie. The Seven Barrows runner is the winner of two bumpers and receives a useful allowance. However, she may not have the scope for improvement of some of her rivals and speedily bred hurdling debutant Hattab may be more of a threat. Stratford winner Honest Vic will find this harder under a penalty, whilst Casterley Rock has shown signs of ability but looks the type to come into his own when sent handicapping over longer trips.
