Verdict
A maiden hurdle rounds off the card and the main protagonists look to be Classify, Which Half and No Guarantees and the vote goes to Classify. The selection was a fair fifth in a better race behind True Lover last time, He is sure to be well forward and with conditions in his favour he is taken to score. Which Half rates the main danger on his latest second behind Tower Heights but it is hard to equate Irish and English form so he can not be put forward with a great deal of confidence. No Guarantees is another worthy of respect he is a winning pointer and is from a top yard so he is worth noting in the market. Lord Olympia was a fair third behind Blushing Bull in a bumper last time and is sure to be suited by the step up in trip. Of the remainder Epitre is from a yard in form and is another with place claims but his over all form leaves him with a little to find and for the winner we return to Classify.
