Verdict

A competitive enough handicap for the grade with most having some sort of chance. Pulsating has won three times here but was beaten in a Class 7 event last time. Billyoakes was a close-up fifth at Lingfield last Sunday having beaten STRICTLY CARTER under a length at the same track 11 days earlier but the runner-up is now a couple of pounds better off and may turn the tables. Last-time winners Herm and Jack Blane also enter calculations, though the latter is very closely matched with French on the form book. Spin Top and The Hooded Claw may be best of the rest.
