Verdict
The booking of Richard Hughes for Roland O'Sullivan's Splash Out Again looks very interesting with the horse coming into the race in fine form after a solid success last time out. Culzean could prove to be the main danger despite topweight, having hinted at a return to his best form when finishing in mid-division of late and now returning to a course where he has gone well in the past. Ring Of Destiny has been a shade disappointing on his last two starts but shouldn't be ruled out of calculations along with Platonic who could be a typical Cumani handicap improver and for whom any serious move in the market would be well worth a second glance.
