For a low-grade handicap this looks quite competitive. VIC'S LAST STAND and Suffice are both recent winners, though the latter was engaged to run yesterday at Southwell. Keith Reveley's charge can defy his penalty as he looks to be on an upward curve. Veteran Hi Dancer can never be ruled out around here while Pixiepot's second at Market Rasen is arguably the best piece of recent form on offer. Shamat was only headed after the last when third at Ballinrobe but softer ground would have suited Swaledale Lad.
