Verdict

This looks to be quite a competitive handicap and we will side with Crocodile Bay to get the better of Glencalvie and Yo Pedro. The selection is on a really handy mark at present and he ran his best race for a while at Sandown last time when chasing home Full Victory. He looks to be coming to hand and he should take all the beating. Glencalvie won well over this course and distance last time but he did get the race run to suit that day and we are happy to take him on. Irish raider Yo Pedro ran a sound race when second behind Sam's Secret at Redcar last time and his sole career win did come here so he is certainly worth consideration. Binnion Bay goes well here and could represent the each-way value in the race, but Crocodile Bay is dangerously well handicapped and can land the prize.
