Verdict
Plenty with claims in this though Zip is making a habit of finishing second and Erich Bloch is raised a further 5lb bidding for a hat-trick. But IT HAD TO BE YOU is less exposed and having missed out by only a neck at Musselburgh on his handicap debut and first start for Jedd O’Keeffe, he may prove the one to side with. Flying Pursuit has a shout off his current mark and is preferred to stablemate Nearly A Gonna but dual 6f winner My Style has something to prove over today’s trip and so does Ice Lord. Lucky Louie and Right Action are others worthy of a second glance.
