OMMADAWN looks the form pick to land this handicap and is taken to score at the expense of Mr Napoleon and Vinces. The selection has only been seen out twice this summer and that was back in May. She might not be the easiest to train but she does look potentially well handicapped on what she has achieved to date. She won her maiden nicely at Kempton last October and is only lightly raced and further improvement is still on the cards so with that in mind she is short listed to go close. Mr Napoleon might be within the grip of the handicapper after back to back victories on the all weather during the winter. He has run well since then but looks handicapped to his best. Vinces is less exposed and is open to further improvement. He caught the eye when last seen out at Great Leighs when finishing third of ten and is one to note in the market. But for the winner we return to Ommadawn.
