Verdict

Most can be given a chance in a competitive handicap. Early Morning won a conditions race by five lengths over track and trip in November while Swift Approval was beaten only a neck in this grade at Newcastle recently. Shyron narrowly beat Right Touch over course and distance last month but Unforgiving Minute’s recent good form has been in plating races. MYSTIQUE MOON (NAP) was beaten off today’s mark here last time but is the least exposed and with Charlie Appleby’s yard in red-hot form, he may well improve enough to land this.
