Top weight ALOTABOTTLE has been in great form since joining thi syard and he can complete a hat-trick with victory in this competitive three-year-old handicap. The selection has the trip and forecast underfoot conditions in his favour and he can get the better of Abie's Hollow who ran in finishing third over further last time out. Third place can go to Dream of Honour who is making his first handicap start of the year.
