In depth

Verdict

A tight little handicap here with very little between many of the leading lights but the principals look to be Gallego, Itcanbedone Again and Jakarmi, and the narrow vote is given to Gallego. The selection won well last time out when beating Pharaoh Prince and although he is stepping up in grade here he looks a progressive type and off what remains a fair mark he will be hard to beat. Itcanbedone Again rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind Merrymadcap but he looks weighted up to his best and at likely odds he looks worth taking on. Jakarmi is another that could go close as he won well last time when beating Dragon Slayer but he has a penalty for that win and that may just find him out. Of the remainder Compton Eclipse remains well weighted on his best form but disappointed last time so can not be but forward with any confidence. Bridgewater Boys is from a yard in form and is another that could go well but he looks vulnerable off this mark and with this in mind for the winner we return to Gallego.
