Verdict
This is another competitive event and the leading lights are Atlantic Gamble, Finished Article and Regency Red and the vote is given to the last mentioned. The selection was a little disappointing here last time but the race was not run to suit that day and if he can be ridden a little closer to the pace we think he can run a big race here. Atlantic Gamble is on a hat-trick bid but the handicap he won last time was a weak event and he has more on his plate today. Finished Article has been in fair form of late but again this looks competitive compared to some of his recent assignments and he may have to settle for place money. Zaffeu is another that has to be considered, although he is proving hard to win with and we are happy to return to Regency Red who may just be good enough to land this handicap.
