Weybridge Light and INCARNATION could be the two to concentrate on and it is the latter who receives our vote to win again. The selection has been brought along steadily and was able to win recently on his first start since joining Luca Cumani's yard from James Given's stable. He was well-backed on that occasion but has been left unchanged on a mark of 69 for this handicap debut and he can win again with the new trip expected to suit. Highest Esteem knows how to win but Gary Moore's charge has been out of luck in three starts this season, Top Tiger has improved with every start this season but his strike-rate is poor, whilst Dubai Ace needs to bounce back from a poor run when last seen and has his first start for a new yard today. Azabu Juban should not be overlooked despite appearing to be high enough in the weights, but the main danger is the hat-trick seeking Weybridge Light. Jamie Spencer won comfortably on him last time out and he should run well despite a further 5lb rise in the weights. An open heat, but Incarnation can win again.
