Verdict

William Buick takes over the reins on PHILOS, who was narrowly beaten at Beverley last week. The latter is taken to end a frustrating run of placed efforts and go one better in this. Bailar Contigo takes another step up in trip having finished runner-up here ahead of Schumann and Optik is another upped in distance after a moderate effort over a mile. Little Tiger and Petite Sioux make their handicap debuts having shown little in novice company.
