Verdict
Another tight handicap here with many in form rivals in opposition including Allimac, Peccadillo and Ichi Beau and we will take a chance on Allimac. The gelding from the Henrietta Knight Yard won well last time out when defeating Crosby Don. He goes well fresh will like the ground and with conditions in his favour he will be hard to beat. Peccadillo rates the main danger he was a fair fifth behind Skycab last time out and this looks easier but he may struggle to give weight and a beating to the selection. Ichi Beau could also go well he is from a yard in form and looks to be on a handy mark but although he has ran well over this distance his best form is over shorter trips so he is opposed on this occasion. Of the remainder Just In Time is from a shrewd yard and is wotrh noting in the market but we are happy to side with Allimac.
