Expert View Verdict

Verdict

A tight contest where all of the field can be given a chance. Hat trick seeker Emerald Bay is likely to be all the rage but his form has had knocks and he's been raised another 8lb so could be vulnerable. The other last time out winner PEGGY'S LAD is preferred starting out in handicaps off a lenient mark. His maiden victory has been boosted and he's bred to enjoy this longer distance. Woodhay Wayfarer has shaped as if she'd stay 1m in maidens over 7f and is another who already looks better than her opening mark. She should also be bang there at the finish.
