Verdict
This looks the most competitive race on the card but Cave Top is sure to be popular, despite a penalty, having sauntered clear in an amateurs' handicap at Exeter last week. Tanarpino and Nabhan usually compete in better company while Milan Of Crystal is on a hat-trick after victories at Warwick and Worcester. War Creation and Grand Turina are unexposed types representing powerful yards but MAN LOOK is still running well, despite having had a busy time of it lately. He wasn't beaten far in his last run in a handicap here and the slight drop in distance might suit.
