Verdict

Several hold chances in this tough three-year-olds handicap, but there could be some mileage to be gained in giving Oranmore Castle another chance. The in-form Peopleton Brook is an obvious one for the shortlist, while Folga and Auwitesweetheart have done very little wrong this term and have sound each-way claims again. The last named has not done herself any favours with her consistency but has the heart to go close again. As does Folga, who is reunited with Jamie Spencer. She is 5lb better off with Peopleton Brook from the last time they met and there is unlikely to be much between them again. However, Oranmore Castle shaped as if her was on the way back with a good effort at Newbury last week and we take the hint with him being turned out so quickly again this afternoon.
