Verdict

Stormbound won at Brighton earlier in the year but remains 6lb higher but Chelwood Gate was runner-up over a longer trip here on his penultimate start. MY FANTASEA has yet to win a handicap but has tumbled down the weights since joining David Evans and a better effort at Bath last time suggests he can figure off his current mark. Celtic Artisan is another looking to exploit a slide down the handicap while Bell Heather won over 7f here in July.
