Verdict

An open handicap with question marks about most. Finding Joy returned to form the last twice but her losing run stretches back to August 2019 and it's hard to feel overly confident about her chance of putting that right. Final Orders also found improvement the last day and a repeat run would see him involved but he does need to back up that better run, whilst Jubatus, a recent Ballinrobe winner, and the consistent Steps Match, blinkered for the first time, are taken seriously. The latter looks a distinct possibility but NYMPHHALL is a hopeful choice. A confirmed hold-up merchant who needs everything to drop right, she stays 3m well and hopefully Philip Donovan can smuggle her round and strike late.
