Verdict
Another wide open handicap rounds off the card and the principals look to be Uraib, Atlantic Quest, and Cal Mac and we will take a chance on Uraib. The three year old from the Ben Hanbury yard was a good second behind Royal Storm last time out and a reproduction of that effort would make him hard to beat. Atlantic Quest is also worthy of respect he won well last time out when defeating African Sahara but he will find this harder under his penalty. Cal Mac could also go well he ran as if returning to form when third behind Tour De Force last time and he looks to be on a handy mark. Of the remainder Vicious Warrior and Its Our Secret are from yards in form and are on handy marks if rain arrives they would have definite place claims but we are happy to side with Uraib.
