Verdict
This is a very weak selling handicap and Keepasharplookout has as good a chance as any, Dane's Rock and Maple Branch can also figure in the finish. Linda Stubbs has her horses in good heart and the booking of Dazzler Holland does look significant. The selection also has some decent form from last season including a close up fourth behind Von Wessex in a better race than this. He gets in here on a nice racing weight and is expected to go close from box one. Dane's Rock has been in good form on the all-weather, his turf form is probably not as good but he should still be involved in the finish here. Maple Branch finished second on his debut in the French provinces, but has been well beaten since on the all-weather. Back on turf we may see some improvement. Lakesdale and Justenjoy Yourself are also worth a mention, but Keepasharplookout could have got in lightly here and just edges the decision.
