Verdict

Flying Dragon keeps finding one too good but must have a chance in a race like this receiving weight all round. Image Of The Moon is better on the all-weather but Repaupo is interesting, despite a very long absence. Strawberry Jack was in cracking form on Polytrack over the winter but GEORGE OF HEARTS was back to his best over course and distance in November and is still well treated on past form with Cieren Fallon’s claim a further plus.
