Beaten a fair way when ninth over 1m3f here (stakes race) two weeks ago; not really built on success in a maiden plate in July at Fairview; this looks a decent race so unlikely to do better than a supporting role.

Verdict

Tres Chic could give the main tip a headache, and Firingonallengines and Mela Strength are perhaps looking exposed. However, HAPPY VERSE has to be the first name on the shortlist. He has won here once before and looks less exposed than some of these.
