In depth

Verdict

Tasaaboq has been thereabouts of late but remains without a win in 19 attempts and Misu Pete is preferred on his recent placed efforts. But LUPO D'ORO finished ahead of Bailiwick when runner-up to recent dual winner Jammy Guest and John Best's charge can land what looks an easier opportunity. The Happy Hammer has looked high enough in the weights since scoring here in September and Rialto Magic's only win to date came over 6f.
