Verdict

A case can be made for virtually all of these but REPUBLICAN hails from a yard among the winners so is taken to go in at the first time of asking for his new handler and edge out in-form top-weight Call Me Harry. Theirshegoes and Aurora Thunder are both weighted to have a say too in a competitive handicap.

  1. REPUBLICAN
