        Verdict

        Another large field goes to post for this handicap but on closer inspection not many can be given a serious chance of winning and the main protagonists look to be Carrowdore, Annishirani and Remembrance and the confident vote goes to Carrowdore. The three year old from the Richard Hanon yard was a good second behind Indian Welcome last time out and with the step up in trip sure to suit he will be hard to beat. Annishirani rates the main danger he won well last time out when defeating Perfect Night but he will find this harder under his penalty. Remembrance is also worthy of respect he was second behind Golano last time and is another that should go well. Of the remainder Ella's Wish is from a top yard and is one of the least exposed in the field so is worth noting in the market but we are happy to stick with Carrowdore now he is stepped up in trip.
