Verdict

DECENT FELLA looks the safest bet in an uninspiring handicap. Last month's Brighton winner is holding his form well and went close again at the same track last time. Eager To Bow should be spot on now after a couple of outings last month while Greyfriarschorista finished ahead of Valdaw when fourth at Yarmouth and William Buick's booking takes the eye. Jonnie Skull has done all his winning in lower grade events but Illustrious Prince has a shout off his current mark.
