Verdict

This wouldn't look to be the strongest of renewals of this event, where novices often do well. That was a case in point with last year's winner Vicente and he can again go well, though back-to-back winners of this are hard to find in the record books. Battle Of Shiloh has to be considered, while Premier Bond is another of interest. Top weight Missed Approach is of serious interest, while Another Hero is not one to chalk off yet. However, SUGAR BARON is still learning, is unexposed over this trip and has a decent racing weight. The addition of cheek pieces are taken as a positive and he might be the one today. Those looking for an each-way play could do worse than Blakemount.
  1. Sugar Baron
  2. Battle Of Shiloh
  3. Missed Approach
