Verdict
A wide open handicap here and many have chances on there best form but the draw may a major part in proceedings with those drawn high having a significant advantage when there is cut in the ground. A chance is taken on Majestic Times he is still on a fair mark and won with plenty in hand when winning at Newcastle last time out. Aventura is another well weighted on his best form is proven on the ground and the booking of Eddie Ahern catches the eye. Tidy is from a shrewd yard and is one of the least exposed in the field. He won well at Haydock last time when defeating Quicks The Word and he still has plenty of scope for improvement. Aimees Delight is another that could go well but all her best form has been on faster ground and for that reason is opposed here. Brantwood is another that could go well despite top weight as he was a fair fifth in a better race behind LagoD'Orta last time out. Of the remainder River Falcon has been in fair form of late without winning but the booking of Jamie Spencer catches the eye.
