Verdict
Dewey Road won a lower grade handicap over a shorter trip at Kempton last time while Neptune's Wonder was set a stiff task at Newmarket and should fare better in this company. The same can be said of Lightening Shore, who drops back down in distance, but a chance is taken on DARK COMPANY improving further now handicapping after winning nicely at Kempton. Aerion Power and Trumble are others to note handicapping for the first time.
