Verdict
Queen's Eyot won a lower grade handicap at Haydock when fitted with a visor. He can figure again on the prevailing ground but a chance is taken that LION OF WAR handles underfoot conditions. The latter completed a double before beaten in pattern race company and makes his handicap debut with Ryan Moore taking over the reins. Serious Look has won over today’s trip and Vortigan is steadily improving but Vecchio is preferred upped from 6f as he’s proven on soft ground.
