Verdict
Even though this marks a step up in class for Sendintank he has won his last two races with plenty in hand and he given the respect due to him as he bids to land the hat-trick of wins from the bottom of the handicap. Today's opposition obviously will not make it easy for the selection and the likes of Glory Quest, Jadeeron and Dick The Taxi are all capable of making this a real test. Whereas Lazzaz could also play a hand if she puts her previous course and distance experience to good use. However, recent form suggests that Sendintank will be too progressive a rival to overhaul; especially now that he appears to have been found his ideal trip. Light-weight Royston Ffrench is a more than capable jockey booking to partner the four-year-old and Sendintank is a strong fancy to claim the ¿4,000+ on offer to the winning connections
