Verdict

A tightly-knit sprint handicap with the vote going to CLASSIC, who admittedly finished behind a couple of these in the Golden Mile Handicap at Goodwood, but he didn't get a clear run on more than one occasion and, with the strong likelihood of him being seen to better effect here, he's taken to open his account for the season. Waiting All Night and Darkness head the opposition, though cases can be made for just about all.
