In depth
Verdict
High Style has conditions to suit and can land this at the expense of Okikoki and Sweet Candy. The selection has yet to win but he showed marked improvement when second to Market Day at Lingfield last time out. With further improvement still to come he is now taken to break his maiden tag. Okikoki improved to win at Chepstow last time out and looks a horse on the up grade but it remains to be seen how he will cope with his new handicap mark. Sweet Candy got off the mark at Woverhampton on his latest outing. This looks tougher though so he have to improve again once more if he is to land himself in the winners enclosure. So for the winner we return to High Style.
