Verdict
Diamond Orchid, Winslow Boy and San Hernando look to be the principles in this open handicap and the vote is given to San Hernando. The selection ran well enough last time at Lingfield and the form of her previous run when down the field behind Tudor Bell over this course and distance has worked out really well. She can not be backed with any real confidence as her overall profile is far from convincing, but she should go well at a decent price. Diamond Orchid ran well last time at Yarmouth when defeating Peak Park. He is upped in grade slightly here but he is in good form and should run well. Winslow Boy is well suited by this trip and he ran well when second behind Euippe at Haydock. He is another that should not be far away at the finish. Of the remainder, The Varlet could be one to consider at an each-way price and for the winner we return to San Hernando.
