Verdict

BIG TIME RASCAL is holding his form well in 2026 and fancied to follow up a recent C&D success at the chief expense of Valsharah who could have to settle for runner-up spot behind Michael Attwater's 5-y-o once more. Both Some Nightmare and Barnsnape Boy also need factoring into this open classified event.
