Verdict

He remains a maiden but ALTHIB keeps shaping as if that won't be the case for much longer. His 2L defeat last time out in an apprentice contest at Gowran was solid and with a handy claim here, this could be his turn. Olly's Folly is frustrating but can be capable when he wishes, perhaps the tongue tie will convince him this is the day. Top-weight Fair Game needs close scrutiny on this return to action off what could be a very workable mark, while both Pushaq and Takeachancejimmy deserve to be in the conversation.
  1. Althib
  2. Fair Game
  3. Olly's Folly
