A compressed handicap to conclude the card and the best advice to punters here is to head for the car park nice and early, but if you must have a bet then try PARIS BELL, while Imperial Sword and Uace Mac can probably go well. Paris Bell has won off marks as high as 80 in the past, and competes off 64 here. He hasn't managed to win yet this year, but he has run some decent races in context, loves cut and is a c&d winner, and would not be winning out of turn. Lake Sabina was comfortably beaten into second in a Great Leighs maiden last time and has handled heavy ground well enough, so there is hope that she can go on good to soft. Imperial Sword was a winner over this trip and in these conditions at Warwick earlier this season, and we could see him going well but winning may be difficult from this mark. Feeling Fresh is on a reasonable mark with going to suit, so don't rule him out, while Uace Mac looks likely to get very competitive with conditions not too much of an issue. Soto is another with trip and ground to suit and who is on a handy enough mark, so Mick Easterby's charge is another to consider, but with all of that in mind we suggest Paris Bell in the last.
