Verdict
A weak looking handicap chase that could go to Sir Cumference, Sissinghurst Storm and Dunbroody Millar are two others likely to be involved in the finish. Sir Cumference is one of the more consistent runners in the line up and ran his usual game race last time at Leicester. He was always in contention and kept on to finish just over two lengths behind Chanharlie. A similar effort today should see him go very close. Sissinghurst Storm is back to a winning mark and if his recent run is anything to go by he could be ready to strike. Dunbrody Millar has disappointed in recent races but has solid claims on the pick of last season's form and could get into the places at a decent price. Cool Song could prove best of the rest, but Sir Cumference looks the safest option here and he gets our vote.
