Racing Post verdict
Third-partyBarbury Boy has landed two of his last three starts in handicap company, and with his latest success having franked well, even a 5lb rise looks workable. A booking for Rossa Ryan points to continued confidence, and he's picked to hold off St Hilda, who has progressed nicely in easier company and could prove capable if a stiffer test at the trip plays to her strengths off a fresh mark. Akho Mezzna, who stepped forward for a longer distance when second over course and distance last month for Jack Jones, looks barely raised enough and is another leading threat, with Bridge Of Eagles closely matched to him on their most recent meeting. On balance, Barbury Boy's proven scoring habit in this grade makes him the pick to prevail.
