This looks a straight contest between Bialco and NANDO both of whom come here via good runs last time out. More of a chasing type the former of that duo made a good fist of being beaten only 4L in a recent Haydock Pertemps Qualifier and already has a mark of 127, that race took place in very testing conditions and the only worry would be that this could come too soon. The Nicky Richards trained son Dai Jin has already run well over C&D last month only going down narrowly to a subsequent winner pulling well clear of the third and showing that he can handle very testing conditions. Take The High Road needs to settle better in his races and prove that he stays as does Keyboard Gangster who also races very freely. If there is one worth watching for handicaps in the future then that would be Kennedys Field who looks to be being brought along slowly.

1. Nando
