A wide open handicap to end proceedings with the tentative vote going to Bold Cross with Regal Dream and Ten To The Dozen both worth noting. Bold Cross has been in great form of late winning at Wolverhampton and finishing second at Chepstow last time out. He comes here in the form of his life and can continue his run with another victory here. Regal Dream was an eye catching second at Chester last time out and although he is a little in and out if repeating that form he would have to go close. Ten To The Dozen has bottom weight to carry even though he was in winning action at Brighton on his penultimate outing. He also ran well when fourth to Trinculoat Chepstow on his latest outing so is one to note. But for the winner we return to Bold Cross.
