Verdict
Karakoram is only 2lb higher than when scoring at Taunton back in March but HALIFAX has done nothing wrong since successful at Bangor in September, when six lengths ahead of Ballycamus, and shouldn’t be far away again while Benign Dictator would have a chance if fully wound up. Halligator may improve this season and Steal My Sunshine arrives on a hat-trick while Police Academy is 3-4 since joining Fergal O’Brien. Just Loose Change was progressive last season but finished tailed off on his reappearance at Newton Abbot, though should strip fitter here. Mourzouk rattled up a hat-trick last year but has a lengthy absence and top weight to overcome.
