Verdict

Despite his penalties Absolute Utopia has enough in hand on official BHB ratings and is taken to get the better of White Emir, Nod's Nephew and Butrinto. The selection won with more in hand than the winning margin suggests over course and distance last time and holds White Emir and Butrinto on running that day. Recent Chepstow handicap third Nod's Nephew has yet to prove that he stays this far or handles the surface and of more interest may be Fife And Drum, who is better treated than most but has been out of form. All in all, this is a poor contest that looks to be well within the compass of Absolute Utopia on last time out running.
