Verdict
A wide open handicap gets proceedings under way and many would have chances on their best form but the principals look to be Giunchiglio,Lucefer, and Icannshift and the vote goes to Giunchiglio. The selection won well last time out at this course when defeating Swellmova and despite rising in the weights under conditions that suit he will be hard to beat. Lucefer rates the main danger he was a fair fourth behind My Maite last time and remains on a fair mark but he is hard to win with and for that reason he is opposed. Icannshift is another that could go well he was a fair fourth behind Fay last time and a reproduction of that effort would make him hard to beat. Unsuited won well last time out when defeating Mr Whizz but he will find this harder under his penalty. Of the remainder Ember Days is from a shrewd yard and has dropped to a handy mark so is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Giunchiglio.
