Verdict

A tight handicap for punters to fathom as many have chances on their best form. However we will take a chance on Trusted Mole who was a good third behind Rosewings last time out, he is proven on the ground and he will be hard to beat. Jezadil won a seller in good style last time out but he will find life much tougher in this handicap. Opening Ceremony is from a yard in top form but he has been tried over a verity of trips and on breeding he is not sure to stay this far. Repulse Bay is another worthy of consideration he won in good style a couple of runs ago and then finished seventh in a much better race last time out behind Sporting Gesture on Saturday. Ipledgeallegiance is another that could go well as he is from the bang in form David Chapman yard and he was a fair third behind +Strong Hand last time out. However that was on ground that had cut in it and he may not be as effective on this faster surface. The remainder need to improve on their latest efforts to trouble the judge.
