Verdict

Tony Carroll has sent out the last three winners and Holbache finished fourth over track and trip having slipped down the weights. But BATCHELOR BOY (NAP) faced a tougher task when third here recently and is taken to add to his three previous course victories by landing this. Michaels Choice finished behind the selection last time and was also beaten by Helvetique when the latter scored at Windsor in June while Smeaton's Light is another with something to find.
