A really good sprint handicap. Things haven't worked out for MOUNTAIN PEAK is small fields this term and he does have plenty of weight against useful sorts, but he delivered a host of good efforts last term in high-quality, large-field handicaps and the combination of 5f and good ground in a larger field should play to his strengths. He needs things to fall right but does make appeal. Lord Riddiford has a shout at his best and Isle Of Lismore is enjoying a consistent campaign, whilst the unexposed Get It is taken seriously on handicap debut. He's only had four starts but scored cosily on reappearance and ran a good fourth in the Windsor Castle at the Royal meeting last year. The speedy Tweet Tweet and consistent Phoenix Star are also viable contenders.
