Expert View Verdict

Verdict

Keep It Classic is solid if rather unspectacular, though a first-time tongue-tie could help. This can go to VIETNORM, who has won his last two on the Flat and also scored with loads in hand on his recent hurdles debut at Market Rasen. He's yet to race beyond 10f on the level and this trip could now unlock further improvement. Picaro might be best of the remainder with a return to drier ground looking in his favour.
