Verdict
The top three in the handicap could fight out the finish of this nursery and we just prefer Right Option ahead of Keep Your Distance and Beau Sancy. The selection has returned to form recently and looks on a decent enough mark. He was only beaten a length by Isola Madre over course and distance last time and a repeat run could be good enough this afternoon. Keep Your Distance did well to finish fourth in a stronger race here last time and should go close despite top-weight. Beau sancy hasn't really lived up to earlier promise but did go well last time and should be thereabouts this afternoon. Zain has shown promise in three runs to date and could play a part in the finish now he is handicapped. But the safest choice here looks to be Right Option and he gets the verdict.
