Verdict

A tightly-knit handicap in which cases can be made for just about all 7. Handicap debutant WILLIAM YEATS gets the nod, however. It's true he's yet to match his bumper form over hurdles but he was set a lot to do behind a pair of useful sorts at Wetherby on his most recent outing and is expected to take an appreciable step forward now entering handicap company for his new stable. Blackwater Lilly and Scots Poet head up the opposition.
