Verdict

Not a strong race by any stretch of the imagination and Richard Hannon, who has enjoyed such a fine season, can strike with Doc Watson. The son of Dr Devious showed plenty of promise on his initial start and will prove hard to beat with the anticipated improvement to come. Miss Assertive takes a massive drop in grade having shown enough class to be placed in Listed company last time and is the obvious danger but lacks the scope of the selection while the remainder need to show significant improvement to cause an upset.
