Verdict

A competitive handicap with the narrow vote in favour of REIDH. He stepped up on his reappearance despite not being seen to best effect at Redcar on his most recent outing 26 days ago. A former C&D winner who is down to a handy mark, a good gallop to aim at here can see him go close. Chester scorer Probe is another of definite interest, with Darkness and Desert Falcon another couple to consider.

  1. REIDH (IRE)
  2. PROBE
