Verdict
Barnaby Brook went close in a handicap over track and trip last time but faces a tougher task at the weights. MICHELE STROGOFF is preferred given he’s faced a couple of difficult tasks in claimers recently but can compete on more favourable terms than when third to Big Baz, rated 91, at Chelmsford last week. General Hazard has a chance at the weights but has struggled since landing a double on the all-weather back in March while Tha'ir and Every Chance finished down the field in the same claiming race at Newcastle last month.
