Half of this field are racing from out of the handicap but the likes of Boher Lad, Railway Vic and Mix N Match would still have place claims. Seacon Beg would probably be the one to beat on his form in the spring though has rather lost his way of late. CRUISE IN STYLE is a regular here and was successful over course and distance in May when Theionlady was among the also-rans. She is only a couple of pounds higher and looks better treated than Moreece.
