    Verdict

    Blueland has held his form well since an absence of nearly two years so has to be added to calculations while top weight Well Green looks interesting but the vote goes to the very well treated DAYS OF PLEASURE. After winning a similar contest off this mark last time the selection is this time allotted a weight for age allowance as a result finds himself really well treated and better off than when scoring that day. Well Green has the burden of top weight but his good performance on handicap debut treads well if viewed through the second and fifth placed runners. His yard are also starting to show some signs of life and he can improve in this sphere off this rating. Blueland had 634 days off after landing a similar contest over course and distance. He's held his form quite well since returning and his mark looks fair enough. Benedict Bay could be dangerous now after his mark has fallen to a level just one pound higher than his last win which came during this month last year over course and distance but Days Of Pleasure is the percentage call.
