Verdict

HACKBRIDGE has won three times here, including from the same mark, and takes a notable drop in class. He's handed the vote in a poor seller though Vischio is another taking a drop in grade after a good run at Windsor. Pioneering, who is having his 40th start, is yet to prove he stays this far, a remark that also applies to Lady Magda. Iballisticvin hasn't won a race since 2017 but Critique looks a threat as his best run to date came over the track and trip in March when only beaten a neck into third.
