Verdict

BARROLO has proved a different proposition having been gelded and switched to handicaps this year, winning 4 times and shaping well in the circumstances when third at Newcastle on his latest outing. He is taken to add to his tally, with Lunacy feared most back at this C&D. Blue Antares can also give his running once again.

  1. BARROLO
  2. LUNACY
  3. BLUE ANTARES (IRE)
