Verdict

A competitive field goes to post for this ten furlong handicap and the principals look to be Parisian Star, Misaayef, and Sky Quest and we will take a chance on Misaayef. The three year old from the Sir Michael Stoute yard is lightly raced won well when defeating Lahoob last time. He looks to be on a fair mark for this his handicap debut and he will be hard to beat with conditions again in his favour. Parisien Star rates the main danger he has dropped to a good mark but although he has run well at this trip his wins have come over a shorter distance so for that reason he is opposed on this occasion. Sky Quest is also worthy of consideration. However he was a very disappointing favourite last time out and is more exposed than many in the field. Of the remainder Cripsey Brook is in fine form but has a career high mark to overcome so we are happy to stick with the unexposed Misaayef
