Verdict

Another competitive field goes to post for this staying handicap and the main protagonists look to be. Faraway Look, Toni Alcala and FortyWinks. and we will take a chance on Mr Fortywinks. The gelding won well last time out and although he has risen in the weights for that win he is still well weighted on his best form of a couple of seasons ago and he may be worth chancing in a wide open affair. Faraway Look rates the main danger she has been a revelation since stepped up in trip and with conditions again in her favour she is a danger to all. Toni Alcala is another in form but he may struggle under his welter burden. Of the remainder Onefourseven has been in fair form over hurdles of late and he could run well at a big price off what looks a lenient mark but we are happy to side with the in form Mr Fortywinks.
