Verdict

A decent handicap but there may be a question mark over whether Shady Mccoy can transfer recent improvement on Turf to the Polytrack. Belgian Bill was just ahead of Eagle Creek when rediscovering his form at Kempton and is well treated nowadays. Utmost is the least exposed so looks a danger while Gabrial, Third Time Lucky and Forceful Appeal are not without hope. SACRED ACT made the in-form Gulliver pull out all the stops here at the start of the month. A 3lb rise if fair and he can go one better today. Certificate is preferred to Charles Molson of the remainder.
