Verdict
Iolani won twice here in October but the handicapper has been in charge lately. Sheriff Garrett wasn’t winning out of turn at Hexham but has 9lb more to carry today. Niceandeasy has only won at Hexham so far but there was plenty to like about his comeback fourth at Ayr so he goes on the short-list. DUKE OF KILCORRAL only won a maiden at Chepstow but the form looks solid enough and the consistent top weight won’t be far away again here with a similar effort. Lucky Robin is tried in cheekpieces and has each-way claims if they have the desired effect.
