Verdict

A fiercely-competitive sprint in which the suggestion is TRILBY, who proved better than ever as he recorded a cosy success at Beverley last week and Sam England's 5-y-o looks capable of holding his own in this stronger company. Completely Random came home with a rattle to score on his first crack at 5f at Southwell earlier in the month, so he heads up the opposition, with Akkadian Thunder taken to edge out Billyjoh for third.

  1. TRILBY
  2. COMPLETELY RANDOM
  3. AKKADIAN THUNDER
