Verdict

Another wide open handicap here and as usual in sprint races at this track the draw will be all important with those drawn high usually holding sway, with this in mind the principals look to be Xanadu, Candleriggs and Old Bailey and the tentative vote goes to Xanadu.Old Bailey is another that won well last time out when defeating The selection has a good draw is on a fair mark and will love the fast ground and he should run well at a price. Candleriggs is another on a good mark but he is not the most genuine so he can not be backed with any confidence. However he is worth noting in the market compared to his stable companion Albashoosh who won well last time out. Old Bailey is another last time out winner who should go well but he has been done no favours by the draw. Of the remainder Flying Edge is from a shrewd yard and is worth noting in the market. But in a race that throws up more questions than answers for the winner we return to Xanadu.
