Race Overview
In an open handicap, it may pay to side with IRADIUS (10), who was a solid third in a Listed chase at this track on March 23rd. His main danger appears to be BREXIT (5), who finished one place ahead in second in that same race, with the pair meeting again on identical terms. The extended trip could play to the strengths of the former. INDIVIS (2) is a dual chase winner from last year and appeals for each-way backers. DOCTOR KALEO (8) shaped with promise last time out and can be involved, while INAYA JONES (4) is another who could make the frame.
