EPIC CHALLENGE failed to win when trained in France last year but scored off a 15lb higher mark here in 2018. He’s switched yards again and with a tongue-tie fitted and Ben Curtis on board today, may prove good enough in a weak handicap. Silver Dust has placed on a couple of occasions this year and Waitaki won over 7f at the track last month. Classic Star scored over the same trip at Chelmsford in January and Armed will be sharper for a recent comeback run and has only his second start for new connections.
