Verdict

Another wide open handicap here but the principals look to be Rydon Lane, Cool Spice, Rohan, Big Max and Galant Eye and the vote goes to Rydon Lane. The selection won well last time out when defeating Beausejour and although he is rising in the weights he has conditions to suit and he will be hard to beat. Cool Spice rates the main danger she was a fair fifth behind Lewis Island last time over this trip. Although she has won over this distance her best performances have come over shorter so for that reason she is opposed on this occasion. Rohan is another that could go well he has dropped to a fair mark and ran as if returning to form when second behind Golfagent a reproduction of that effort would give him definite place claims. Big Max is another that could go well he was second in a claimer behind Oulton Broad last time and that form has since been franked but this looks more competitive. Gallant Eye is another in fine form but he is rising in the weights so for the winner we return to Rydon Lane.
