Verdict
Stallone has been knocking on the door again recently but Bluebell Time has tended to struggle when tried over this longer trip. Some Nightmare is in the midst of a terrific run of form but is starting to climb the weights, though just about holds Willingly on collateral form. Enderman can’t be ignored but CAPE COLUMBUS has been showing enough in novice and maiden events to suggest he can win a handicap at this level.
