In depth

Verdict

A fair handicap for the track which should go the way of Ettrick Water, who has been tackling better company than this. He may be chased home by the improving Yakimov, who took a while to get his act together, but has hit form with a vengeance of late. Miss Gigi is capable of a bold show off this mark, but Tiger Frog, stepping into handicap company for the first time will need to show plenty of improvement if he is to be involved.
