Verdict
Peopleton Brook, Conjecture and Prince Namid are three against the field in this wide open handicap and the tentative vote is given to Conjecture. The selection was a fair third behind Niteowl Lad last time out, this looks easier and off the same mark and from what looks a good draw he looks the one to be on. Peopleton Brook rates the main danger on his latest second behind Abientot but that was with much more cut in the ground and he looks vulnerable off this mark on this faster surface. Prince Namid is another that could go well on his latest second behind Dunn Deal. The drop back to the minimum distance looks sure to suit and he should be noted in the market. Wise Wager is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he looks vulnerable off this mark. Of the remainder Brut is from a yard in form and is another to note in the market but this looks very competitive and for the winner we return to Conjecture.
