A competitive handicap in which several look to have decent claims. Mindurownbusiness, Hillbilly Boy and Brocklebank are previous course and distance winners but so is REVOLUTIONIST and the improving Mark Johnston three year old is taken to complete the four timer. He has gone up another 6lb since a narrow win at Wolverhampton but only had to be shaken up to get the verdict. Georgian Bay had Pearl Ice behind when scoring at Kempton in September and could also go close while Mulzamm has been knocking on the door but Aleator ran poorly at Chelmsford and is likely to find this much too sharp. The Rectifier needs some help from the handicapper.
