Verdict
Harik a good winner last time out when defeating Pamela Anshan is taken to defy his penalty. The gelding from the bang-in-form Gary Moore loves this ground and with Jamie More taking off a handy five pounds he will be hard to beat. Lady Turk rates the main danger she won well last time out when defeating Rose Tina but she is not very big and may struggle under her penalty. Granby Bell is another worthy of consideration she is a course and distance winner who has dropped to a handy mark and with conditions in her favour she could run well at a fair price. The Staggery Boy is another with place claims but he has not won for some time. Of the remainder Colonial Sunset has been in good form of late but his best efforts have come with cut in the ground.
