Verdict

A very competitive handicap for the track and several arrive in excellent form. Spock was fancied for an even better race at Market Rasen last month but fell at halfway and may struggle for pace over this trip. Temple Lord was just touched off at Worcester in June, while Passato and Mister Matt were both easy winners last time and Callisto Moon has been in good form on the Flat. RIO GAEL had Oceana Gold well behind at Aintree in May and had a blow on the level last month. That should have set him up nicely for this and he gets the nod as the novice Sublime Talent faces a stiff task at the weights.
