Verdict

Elijah Pepper ran well enough on his reappearance to suggest that he can win a race of this nature. Guto rates a danger on his best form, as do Howards Tipple and The Little Fizzer. The selection ran some fair races as a juvenile and proved that he had trained on with a fair effort on his reappearance. He stayed on quite encouragingly having met trouble in running and this drop in grade can see him regain winning ways. Luloah has been in good form of late but needs to take another step forwards to complete her hat-trick in this company and Guto could emerge as a bigger challenger. He hasn't been in great form of late but should be a threat to all in this company. The Little Fizzer struggled in handicaps having won her maiden at the first time of asking but she's held her form well and ran perfectly respectably at Sandown last time. She doesn't quite appear to have been seeing her races out though and Elijah Pepper can mow her down close home.
