Verdict

This race always sees a helter-skelter end to the card and generally a gamble or two. The Irish look to have a relatively strong hand again with last year’s winner Rock The World returning although he’s not shown his best this year. Neither has Don’t Touch It but he could well be the plot horse of the race with a market watch advised. Vaniteux is another who looks to have been laid out for this but in a race where novices have done well NORTH HILL HARVEY can make the most of his mark and course experience. Dolos is another novice with a chance with Bouvreuil and Townshend two others worth a second glance at decent odds.
  1. North Hill Harvey
  2. Don't Touch It
  3. Dolos
