Verdict

For a big-field handicap, there's not too much in the way of pace here and luck in running may play an even part than it usually does. If a strong pace could be guaranteed, Bobabout would be high on the shortlist for this, but he's likely to be buried away so he can settle. FRIDAYNIGHTLIGHTS is in tremendous form and this race was nominated as a target last week after his Kilbeggan win. He can go close again. Bakers Street wasn't far behind the selection last time and despite being 10, may actually have a bit more to offer.Stamp Your Feet, The King Of Brega and Pinkie Brown are others to consider in an open race.
