Verdict
Another competitive handicap featuring three previous course and distance winners. Emperor Bob and Rosin Box were first and third here last month and a good run from Path Of Silver in the previous race would boost their credentials but Military Hill has never won outside of claiming company and has been racing over further lately. ALWARDA had a number of today’s rivals behind when third at Tipperary earlier this month. She looks ready for a first victory and Oisin Orr is a good booking for a race like this, though she might have been better drawn. Danehill Quest is another maiden with decent claims.
