Verdict

Last year's winner Double Ross and Loose Chips are both highly respected in a race that might well unfold to suit either very well. However, IT'S A GIMMIE is on a very lenient mark by comparison and could be the better value option in a race that is full of pitfalls. Lamb Or Cod also has leading claims but like a few of his rivals, he is usually better for a run and may just need this to top up his fitness levels.
  1. It's A Gimme
  2. Double Ross
  3. Loose Chips
