Verdict

The two 3-y-os at the top of the weights may dominate this, with the lightly raced CROW'S NEST, who was unlucky not to finish closer on his Newmarket handicap debut, narrowly preferred to last month's Bath scorer Swift Asset. Song of Success has got a bit better with each start for new trainer James Fanshawe and may prove best of the remainder.
