Verdict
Tribal Dance took this last year off a 22lb higher mark but nothing he's done since suggests a repeat is on the cards. Recent winners Highbury High and UNIFY are likely to dominate with the latter, who found plenty when challenged at Southwell on Tuesday, taken to defy his penalty. The former has been raised 6lb since scoring at Warwick, though Jordon Canavan can still claim his full 10lb allowance in this conditionals' race. Carobello has shown very little in the last 12 months and Trakeur is 15lb out of the handicap.
