Verdict
Another low-grade handicap in which SFUMATO may prove the pick of the top-weights having won a slightly better race at Catterick in October from just 2lb lower. Forever A Lady won here in July and is on the same mark so she's respected along with Im Dapper Too, who spent last season running reasonably well on the all-weather. Proceeding makes his handicap debut and showed a bit more dash at Newcastle in January while Thornaby Nash has managed to win six races including three last year. Naples Bay has changed yards and was in good form in the middle of last summer so could need a run or two, a remark that also applies to Kodicat.
