This is a very modest handicap and it may pay to concentrate on those at the head of the weights. Armattiekan has placed in his last three and was favourite when second at Bangor in May but is 5lb higher on his return. ISHYABOI faces his easiest task to date since joining Christian Williams. He was placed twice in Ireland and has dropped to a fair mark. Highland Bobby won a Southwell maiden in July and drops down a grade for this while Kapsize is another to consider.
