Verdict

This doesn't look a strong handicap and BACK FROM DUBAI may be able to follow up his Doncaster victory. Grand Citadel won this race 12 months ago and could go close again, provided the pace isn't overly strong, while Melissa Honey looks interesting dropped in grade.

  1. BACK FROM DUBAI (IRE)
  2. GRAND CITADEL (IRE)
  3. MELISSA HONEY
