Race Summary
As is par for the course with these competitive handicaps, plenty of connections will be thinking they’re in with a good chance, but none more so than those connected to BIBULOUS. Henry Candy’s four-year-old was a good second last time at Ffos Las, where he was two lengths behind Dora Penny, who has come out and won since. Off the same mark today, he appears likely to be in the mix. Secret Handsheikh is a last-time-out winner capable of going close again and he commands respect, along with Under Curfew. Win: BIBULOUS Danger: Secret Handsheikh
