There are one or two old favourites lining up for this competitive handicap, including the evergreen pair Beckermet and Roker Park, but we like the look of ALL OR NOTHIN. John Quinn's gelding is tried in a hood for the first time and though his ability to handle the going has to be taken on trust he ran a stormer behind Van Ellis at the course in June having previously obliged in a maiden over C&D. Parisian Pyramid goes well here and would be a big player if he could bounce back to form after a couple of heavy defeats. Sunraider had some smart form for Barry Hills and he's slowly dropped down the handicap over the last year or so. Paul Midgley now trains the son of Namid and the booking of Paul Mulrennan looks interesting. At slightly longer odds, Jarrow can also give a good account. Milton Bradley's charge stays this trip well and Matthew Lawson claims a valuable 5lb.
