Verdict
Kingaroo has a good record here though he's hardly consistent and a 6lb penalty for last week's victory makes life difficult. OSTENTATION was a couple of lengths behind last week but didn't get the best of runs and can reverse the form and take this as his run at Wolverhampton on Saturday was over a trip too short. The veteran Dunaskin won a poor selling handicap off this mark in December while Lava Steps was in poor form when last seen over a year ago but has joined David O'Meara and a change of scenery may prove beneficial. Bring Sweets has a poor strike-rate and is probably better over further.
