Verdict
Honor Oak has been in good form and had a bit to spare over Coach Bombay last week, though a 9lb rise won't help. Shabra Emperor was leniently treated before scoring here last month and a 4lb rise shouldn't pose too many problems while Settle For Red completed a double here last September and not surprisingly shot up the ratings but he's gradually been coming down to a more realistic mark. Turn On The Tears made a very bright start on Polytrack and Tapeta around this time a year ago, winning comfortably at Wolverhampton for Jamie Osborne, so he's an interesting entry for new connections. Burren View Lady pops up every now and then but she's more of a sprinting type.
