Verdict

Surprisingly there are just the six runners for this sprint handicap, the finish of which should involve the trio of Ivroy's Joy, Rajab and Eastern Trumpeter. The first mentioned looked like she was returning to form when fourth at Doncaster last week and should again be thereabouts. Rajab was eased having lost his action last time and should not be discounted while Eastern Trumpeter has run well in better races than this of late and looks the one they all have to beat.
