Verdict

TROOPER BISDEE has the look of yet another Sir Mark Prescott-trained 3-y-o who will run up a sequence in staying handicaps. Indeed, he stll looked raw when making a successful reappearance at Yarmouth and this further step up in trip is pretty much guaranteed to be the catalyst for further improvement. Lady Rascal also shapes as though this stiffer test will be in her favour and she is second choice ahead of Fair Dinkum.

  1. TROOPER BISDEE (IRE)
  2. LADY RASCAL
  3. FAIR DINKUM (IRE)
