Verdict
Maybe Someday, Rowan Pursuit and St Savarin are the three to concentrate on in this Handicap, and we will give the nomination to St Savarin. The selection ran really well in defeat last time when third behind Kabreet. He did not get much luck in running that day so could be capable of rewarding his supporters by making amends here. Rowan Pursuit is a course and distance winner who is in good heart at present, but he was stepped up in company last time and was well beaten, so he may again find a couple too good in this grade. Maybe Someday ran well on his last outing on this track in a better race than this, so he could be interesting, especially as he is now dropped in trip. Park Avenue Princess has been running well of late and is from the Nick Littmoden yard so is another than cannot be ruled out, but St Savarin was unlucky last time and should be capable of bouncing back.
