Verdict

Punching, Majestical and Littledodayno are three against the field in this tight handicap and the vote is given to Littledodayno. The selection was an unlucky in running second behind Punching last time out. He is better off at the weights here and from a good draw he is taken to score. Punching is sure to have his supporters but he will do well to confirm his superiority over the selection these revised terms. Majestical was a fair second behind Quantum Leap but consistency is not his strong point. Crimson Fern won well last time when beating Nawayea but he looks to have plenty of weight for what he has actually achieved. Mister Elegant is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he has yet to win over this trip. Of the remainder Stormburst is from a shrewd yard and should be watched in the market but for the winner we return to Littledodayno who has plenty of ticks in the right boxes.
