Verdict

Voltaic is only a plater but, dropped 2lb and fitted with cheekpieces, has a chance in a race like this. Sin E Shekells is 0-10 but has his ground and shouldn’t be far away with Letmestopyouthere another to consider despite being on a long losing run. Inner Circle has only finished out of the frame once in his last six and won a handicap over course and distance as a juvenile but Simon Walker’s presence in the saddle is a major plus in amateur races and HEDGING could benefit from his expertise today having slipped to a generous-looking mark.
