Verdict

It could be that Business Class was in need of the outings in his last two runs and Mary Reveley's charge is given the nod over his stablemate Left Bank, with Cassia Heights very much respected as probably the biggest danger if this runs to form. However, with the likelihood that the last named will go off at a short price for a horse that has raced once since April, there could be some mileage to be covered with a small stakes interest in Business Class. The eleven-year-old is a bulky, former point-to-pointer that holds his form well once he is fit. And has plenty in his favour after an encouraging effort behind the classy Newsplayer at Sedgefield last time. Business Class was doing all his best work at the finish on that occasion and, as he faces nothing of the caliber of Newsplayer here, he is fancied to cause a minor upset to supporters of Cassia Heights, as he may find this trip just short of his best.
