Verdict

This is another tightly knit handicap and it is unlikely that the winner will come from out of the top half of the weights. And there are solid reasons to expect that the gutsy Major Attraction will get the better of Jadeeron again; despite being 1lb worse off today. The eight-year-old is at his best on a sound surface and is yet to finish out of the first four home in his outings this season. He hit the front a little too soon last time but still managed to resist all comers as they crossed the line. George Baker is building up a good working relationship with the gelding and a more patient approach from him today could prove to be the decisive factor again. Of the others, Missile Toe hit form at around this time last year and is another to watch out for in the betting. Whilst the booking of Kieren Fallon is enough to ensure that Master T will be worth a second look. Khuzdar is still a little high in the weights at present and it will be a terrific effort from him today if he manages to defy top weight.
