In depth

Verdict

Richard Hannon holds they key to this classified event as he runs both Presto Shinko and Bohola Flyer, the former is preferred, with Eisteddfod also likely to figure in the finish. Presto Shinko doesn't know how to run a bad race and gained a deserved victory in a Goodwood handicap earlier this month. He took a while to find a gap in that event, but when he did he just toyed with his rivals and in the end had a length and a quarter to spare over Estihlal with tonight's rival Eisteddfod close up in third. Paul Cole's runner is only a pound better off and once again may have to settle for place money. Bohola Flyer could make it a Hannon one-two, she was only beaten two lengths in a very competitive handicap at Newmarket last time off a mark of 78, so on official ratings has every chance against her stable companion. However Presto Shinko won with something in hand last time and is chosen to follow up that success.
