    Verdict

    Barbarian and Love Pegasus have solid claims in what should be an interesting handicap but for us MIRRORED looks best. Sir Michael Stoute's colt had a tough ask on his handicap debut but he won it in the style of an improving three-year-old. He is by a sire, Dansili, whose stock improves with age. He is very interesting prospect for middle-distance handicaps and is tipped to complete the double today. Barbarian has been the runner up on his two outings since making his handicap debut. The three-year-old is looking sharper race by race but was held off 70 last time out. He runs off a mark of 71 today and is expected be held off by the selection. Love Pegasus recorded a victory over this trip at Kempton last time.
