In depth
Verdict
Aegeus has yet to threaten in a handicap but has slipped down the weights while Glory of Paris looks no nearer ending a losing run. The Warrior landed a double at Lingfield before beaten off today’s mark here but is still preferred to Holiday Magic, a dual winner over 7f since joining his current yard. TAKEONEFORTHEAM scored over track and trip in October and has placed here on a couple of occasions subsequently. He looks capable of winning off his current mark and gets the vote.
