Often funny results in this grade at the track so we'll take a punt with RISING KHELEYF. John Harris' gelding was outclassed in the legends race last time but his previous form at this sort of level gives him a strong chance, especially as he handles this ground. Fault has won here before and his official rating of 77 makes him a major player but soft ground might be a worry, whilst Thaliwaru's Scooby Dee form looks rock solid. Toby Tyler tries a visor whilst Jibrrya takes a drop in grade. The aforementioned Scooby Dee commands respect despite his lowly rating, and along with the nicely-weighted Saigon Kitty is certainly one to watch out for.
