Verdict

Blue Hills, Al Moulatham and Tresor Secret are three against the field in another tough handicap and the narrow vote is given to Blue Hills. The selection won well last time out when beating Jack Rolfe and although rising in the weights he again has conditions to suit and will be hard to beat. Al Moulatham rates the main danger as he won with a little in hand last time out but he has a penalty for that win and this looks tougher and at likely odds he looks worth taking on. Tresor Secret is another that could go well on his best form but he is rising in the weights without winning and is taken on with this in mind. Three Boars looks weighted up to his best while Plenty Cried Wolf is from a yard in form and is worth a cautionary look in the market but he has been done no favours by the draw and for the winner we return to Blue Hills.
