Verdict
A difficult handicap to end the card and the sporting selection is Wickedish, Love Always and Billy One Punch are two of many dangers. Wickedish gets into the handicap on bottom weight despite a smooth victory last time out. That success came over a mile but there is plenty of stamina in the pedigree and this trip could be more suitable. Love Always is at the other end of the handicap having put in some solid placed efforts in decent company. With a capable claimer bringing the weight down this one has to be on the shortlist. Billy One Punch keeps finding one too good and does look a little high in the weights. However with plenty of these in the same boat he could be capable of making the frame. Bienheureux rarely runs a bad race and looks the pick of the others, but we return to Wickedness for our token choice.
