Verdict

This looks a trappy little handicap with a case able to be made for just about the whole field. Twice Upon A Time might be worth an interest though, having been unlucky in running last time out and is better judged on her sound C&D victory here last month. Granted better look today she should go close. Hufflepuff looks the main danger having finished close up in big handicaps at Ascot and Newmarket in its last two starts and will be a popular choice to get off the mark for the term. Majhool has a little bit to find on its recent A/W success and might find this tough as might Maktavish who has been out of sorts this season. Climate Control, a winner at Brighton in May is still something of an unknown quantity and could be the fly in the ointment.
