Verdict
Another competitive handicap and we will side with top-weight Sky Warrior, Renvyle and Nagano are two obvious dangers. The mount of Christian Williams has been in good form of late and put in another solid display at Ludlow last time, finishing just two lengths behind Cosmocrat. With ground and trip the same this afternoon he should have a great chance of going one better. Renvyle hasn't been out since landing a double last Autumn. Fitness has to be taken on trust but he certainly has the form to go close. Nagano may need to drop a few pounds before winning again but may be capable of reaching the places at nice odds. Little Big Horse and Burning Truth may come out best of the rest, but Sky Warrior is expected to give weight and a beating to his rivals.
