Verdict
Three-year-olds have won two of the three previous stagings of this sprint handicap and Liberatum is a speedy sort who was only worn down close home at Chester last time. But LIQUID (NAP) appears better drawn and will probably take all the beating if the rains stay away, despite having been raised 2lb for a decent effort last time at Newmarket. Hamilton winner One Boy needs some give in the ground so connections will be hoping the heavens open but David O’Meara’s pair, Noah Amor and Alsvinder, are worth a second look and Just Us Two has travelled a long way for this.
