Verdict
Hard to be confident in an open handicap but Toby Lawes has made a good impression since joining the training ranks, notably with his intelligent race placement. His NASHVILLE NIPPER has 11-12 here but is consistent at this level and his recent Ascot third behind Lossiemouth reads better than any recent form on offer. He should progress further after a mere five outings over timber. Zulu Dawn has a similar recent profile and should be in the shake-up once more for a yard enjoying a fine season. Committee Of One is interesting but might need the run and it would not surprise if Edmond Dantes found significant improvement upped in trip for this handicap debut.
