A wide-open handicap with several of those likely to be prominent in the betting despite having a bit to prove now. Related is back on a winning mark and has been placed twice this season, the latest over course and distance. Firmdecisions won at Leicester won at Leicester two runs ago but that was over 7f, which is his best trip. Envisaging has to go on the short-list after promising runs this season here and at Newmarket, though he has a poor strike-rate. Spirit Of Wedza arrives in good form and will be hard to keep out of the frame again with Jamie Gormley taking off 5lb but there may be more to come from HACKNEY ROAD on Turf. He was badly hampered when a couple of lengths behind Envisaging here last May and went on to record a fourth all-weather win at Kempton, where he had a bit in hand – a 4lb rise is not insurmountable. King Robert looks the pick of the remainder.
