Verdict

TAXMEIFYOUCAN was a decent hurdler a couple of years ago and he ran one of his best races for some time when third in a handicap at Newcastle last weekend. Jim Goldie’s team are going great guns and Graces Quest holds very cogent claims tonight while Serena Brotherton rates as a positive booking for Cuban Cigar though Lucinda Russell’s gelding is yet to win a Flat race on the Turf. Micky Hammond has been regularly among the winners this week and The Resdev Way gets on particularly well with tonight’s rider. He was ahead of Percy Prosecco when the pair met in a similar affair at Wolverhampton in April and is weighted to confirm form.
