Verdict

An interesting handicap ends proceedings where SURUOR has our confidence ahead of Allformary and Hey Up Dad. The selection looks to be the best treated of the protagonists after narrowly missing out off a rating two pounds better off on his last run. The form from that contest is beginning to work out and his maiden victory came in similar conditions. Allformary has looked progressive in two starts but both have come on heavy ground and he looks to have it all to do off a high looking mark on handicap debut. Hey Up Dad was an impressive winner in bottomless ground last time but again his mark might be a little heavy while Toby Tyler won with enough in hand last time to suggest he might overcome a five pound ratings rise but would have to find more to beat Suruor.
