    Verdict

    The addition of blinkers worked the oracle for HIT MAC and he finally got his head in front when scoring over track and trip. He can go in again with top apprentice Billy Loughnane’s allowance negating a penalty. Prince of Rome has a bit to find with the selection while Glorious Charmer was edged out of second place here last time by You're Cool. Both Big Impact and Coast have yet to win over the minimum trip.
