Verdict

This is a wide open handicap in which Smile For Us, Lucayos and Luloah rate as the main players with the vote given to Smile For Us. The selection has been running consistently well of late and he certainly deserves to win a race. He was a good second behind Diktalex last time out and a reproduction of that effort would make him hard to beat. Lucayos found trouble when finishing second behind Stoneacre Boy at Lingfield last time and with a little more luck today he could go close. Luloah has run well over course and distance before and he is sure to have his supporters with Frankie Dettori booked to ride. Mister Incredible ran well last time and looks to have a solid each-way chance, but for the winner we will stick with Smile For Us.
