Verdict

Bajan Flash is asked to concede plenty of weight to his main three-year-old rivals but looks sure to be on the premises after two solid efforts in modest handicap company. However, the younger brigade provide a massive threat and PIAVE is given the nod in the hope that he is fit and ready after showing plenty of promise in a back-end 7f Newmarket maiden last term. He could well go on to better things. The form of Royal Bonsai's Wolverhampton third has worked out very well, whilst Residence And Spa showed more than enough last term to play a leading role in an interesting little contest.
