oddschecker Verdict
Recent course and distance winner APOTHIC RED can make it back-to-back successes. A lightly raced son of Saxon Warrior, the Tom McCourt-trained gelding led two furlongs out before staying on well to land a first career victory. Although 7lb higher now, the three-year-old could still be ahead of the handicapper. Arguably in front too soon last time, he can be delivered later on this occasion. Jon Riggens, who has dropped a long way in the handicap in recent times, shaped more encouragingly when third over course and distance on his latest start. Apache Outlaw has proven somewhat frustrating this season but should be ideally suited to the fast pace of a race of this nature.
Prediction: 1st Apothic Red, 2nd Jon Riggens, 3rd Apache Outlaw
