In depth
Verdict
A wide open handicap rounds off the card and many would have chances on their best form but the principals look to be Cross The Highman, Bally's Bak and Brush A King and the vote goes to Cross The Highman. The selection won well last time out when defeating Scippit and although that was only a seller he could be well in here and he is taken to win again. Bally's Bak rates the main danger he was a good second behind Irisi's Prince last time and he will not be far away. Brush A King also won well last time out when defeating Mr Dow Jones but he will find this harder under his penalty and for that reason he is opposed. Of the remainder Vitelucy is from a shrewd yard and is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Cross The Highman.
