Bollin Derek, Trinity Rose and Raise The Heights are three against the field in this handicap and the vote is given to Bollin Derek. The selection is in the form of his life having won his last three races and although he is rising in the weights he looks a progressive type and under conditions that suit he is taken to score. Trinity Rose rates the main danger on her latest fourth behind Swan Queen but she looks to have enough weight for what she has actually archived. Raise The Heights is another worthy of respect on his best form but all his best efforts have come on a faster surface. Of the remainder Warsaw Pact hails from a shrewd yard and is stepping up in trip so should be closely watched in the market off what looks a lenient mark but for the winner we return to Bollin Derek who is taken to defy the handicapper.
