Verdict

On The Huh hadn't shown much on the all-weather before finding this trip and ground with some give to his liking at Doncaster. If taking to the quicker surface he's an obvious danger to all. SUGAR LUMP (NAP), a Salisbury maiden winner, has dropped to a mark that just gets him into this handicap after two runs in better events and Tom Marquand is excellent value for his claim so he's handed the vote. His stablemate Fleeting Strike makes his handicap debut but will need to step up a gear as will Henryhudsonbridge, whose last three runs have come on ground with plenty of give. Pressure disappointed when fancied at Doncaster, though the soft ground may have been responsible, while Jaganory has been lowered 6lb despite a short-head defeat in a claimer last time.
