This is a very moderate handicap. Famous Warrior has had some good days around here but they seem a long time ago and his stablemate Mizbah looks to have more of a chance as he's been consistent since scoring at Jebel Ali in October. BLUE TIGER'S EYE has won twice here in the past, the latest in March, so it's a surprise that he can race from an 11lb lower mark than that victory. He hasn't been in the best of form but has been given a real chance by the assessor. He holds On War on earlier form and the latter's yard may have a better chance with Ramonti Flash, who won twice here in 2013. Hard Divorce, a winner at Wolverhampton for David Brown, was having his first start for almost a year when mid-division on New Year's Eve and with his stable doing well here he could reward each-way backers at a fair price. Ormindo may do best of the remainder.
