It's hard to make a strong case for any of these in a pretty poor handicap. GLENNTEN gets the vote on his convincing win over 1m2f at Lingfield in April, though he's 9lb higher for this. Appyjack won over a mile here earlier in the year but has something to prove over today's longer distance, as does Wolverhampton winner Sixties Queen. Polydamos is usually thereabouts but has yet to win in 21 attempts and the remainder are even harder to fancy.
