Verdict
Guido Reni hasn't won since May 2018 but this is low on quality and it wouldn't be a shock to see him carry his big weight to victory. BETTER THAN HEAVEN is up 8lb for a surprise victory on his handicap debut at Navan, his first sign of any form. This looks no tougher so he can go in again. Ben Thomson is likely to be suited by this trip after staying on over 2m at Kilbeggan while Tullyveery Lad was expected to do better when well supported at Listowel in June. Will You Win has shown glimpses of ability while Winnie Woodnutt makes her handicap debut after a better run at Navan.
