Verdict

Top Jaro,Madaares and Il Castagno look the three to concentrate on in this handicap and the vote is given to Top Jaro. The selection Kinsya off this mark last time out. That form looks rock solid in the context of this race and under similar conditions here he will be hard to beat. Madaares rates the main danger on his latest second behind Sharplaw Autumn. He enters handicaps off a fair mark and with his yard in form he should be closely watched in the market. IL Castagno was a fair second behind Methusaleh last time and is another with place claims but all his best form is on a softer surface and for that reason he is opposed. Of the remainder Sicilian was a fair third behind Pleasing last time but may be seen to better effect over a longer trip in time and with this in mind for the winner we return to Top Jaro.
