In depth
Verdict
Certain Justice does have a hefty weight to carry but should be capable of beating this modest looking bunch, the best of which could be be My Only Sunshine and Full Spate. Stef Liddiard's seven-year-old returned to winning ways at Southwell last time when comfortably beating Premier Grand. His turf form is also of a high standard this season and he appears to be the best option this evening. Full Spate may now be in the handicapper's grip, but could still go well for each-way backers. My Only Sunshine looks a bigger threat to the selection . Mark Wallace's gelding didn't take to the visor last time but his previous efforts including an excellent second behind Mandarin spirit give him strong claims here. Stokesies wish is another to consider for each-way purposes, but for the winner we return to Certain Justice.
