Verdict
Another tough handicap rounds off the card and many can be given chances on their best form but the principals look to be Golfagent, Alfy Rich and Nigello and the tentative vote goes to Golfagent. The selection won well last time out when defeating Sigwells Club Bo. Granted that was in a seller but this is not much better and he is taken to win again with conditions again sure to suit. Alfy Rich rates the main danger he has dropped to a fair mark and ran as if returning to form when fourth behind Imtihan last time. Nigello has been chasing of late but is drooped in grade and is switched back to hurdles here so is another that could go well. Gebora is another that is drooping in grade and with his stable in top form could go well despite top weight but for the winner we return to last time out winner Golfagent.
