Verdict
LEADERSHIP RACE, who completed a double here at the backend of 2019, has been performing at a higher level and though having a big weight to carry looks the one to beat. James McAuley has half of the ten entries with Robert Guiscard, a winner for Mark Johnston at Bath in August, the best of them at the weights though potential punters would need to ignore a poor debut for the stable here last month. Approach The City won a similar race for the yard here in March but has been well beaten in handicaps subsequently. Mulzamm is 2-40 around here and has plenty to find but Pachmena has place claims with Siobhan Rutledge still able to use her 7lb.
