Verdict

A competitive event that may go the way of TWIST OF FATECATCH who ran well on handicap debut at this course last year and may be able to capitalise on his falling mark. There wasn't much to separate Noble Blue and Gasmani at Taunton last time, with both expected to go well again.

  1. TWIST OF FATECATCH (FR)
  2. NOBLE BLUE (FR)
  3. GASMANI (IRE)
