        Verdict

        Another race where not too many can confidently be ruled out and, even though there is strictly very little between them on form, Party Ploy has a solid chance at the weights and is just preferred over High Action. With Indian Solitaire and Barman appealing as the likeliest duo to scrap it out for the minor honours. However, Party Ploy, who hails from a yard that are in flying at present, is a still holding his form well despite creeping up the weights. and may still have a little more to offer from the foot of the handicap today. His close up third at Chester last week gives him every chance if repeating the effort here and another bold show is expected. Mumbling is hard to get right but is worth monitoring in the betting also.
