Verdict

A difficult three-year-old handicap which throws up endless options with just 10lb between the entire field. The form of PREVENT's last two starts does not look that strong but he boasts a consistent profile and is just one of two course winners on show. He's also been left on an unchanged mark for his latest effort and should give supporters a good run for their money. Thechildren'strust has only had three starts so is hard to weigh up but would be interesting if the money were to come for him while Rastacap and Queen Penn are a couple of interesting runners from top yards and they could also get involved.
