Verdict

A competitive enough heat where the suggestion is MAXIE T. Micky Hammond's string have been running well enough of late and the drop back to this trip, cut in the ground, first-time cheek pieces and being back on a handy mark are all taken as positives. One For Harry and Desert Cry can both be involved for minor honours, while Tomkevi is another for the short-list.
  1. Maxie T
  2. One For Harry
  3. Tomkevi
