Verdict
The returning Constantine Bay and Over To Sam might need this but are worth a market check. Barney Dwan was a smart handicapper in his prime but it’s a long time since he got his head in front and Fergal O’Brien probably has a better chance with recent course winner Ocean Cove. Another course winner, Nestor Park, faced a tough task on his handicap debut at Aintree and can figure along with Potters Hedger but BOBO MAC won this last year and was later second off a higher mark at Newbury so a repeat may be on the cards with James Nixon taking off 5lb.
