A competitive handicap rounds off the card and the principals look to be Noul, Jair Ohmsford ,Noul and Critical Stage the confident vote goes to the last named. The five-year-old won well last time out when defeating Intricate Web with the front two well clear and if he sees out this longer trip he will be hard to beat. Noul rates the main danger he was a fair second behind Hiawatha last time but just gave the impression he was in thew handicappers grip and for that reason he is opposed. Jair Ohmsford is also worthy of respect he won a classified stakes race last time when defeating George Stubbs but this looks more competitive. Suredoue is from a yard in form and should be noted in the market but for the winner we return to Critical Stage.
