Verdict

A modest handicap in which local trainer Bernard Llewellyn saddles three runners. All have some sort of chance with James Pollard particularly interesting having finished third at Goodwood after winning over hurdles here earlier. Considering his pedigree, by High Chaparral out of a Dancing Brave mare and a half-brother to three winners, connections have every right to expect more from RANCHO MONTOYA. He could hardly be starting off from a lower mark in handicaps and may come good if handling the switch to Turf. Jebril and Ivanhoe are other three-year-olds with claims getting weight from exposed older horses.
