With so many runners and no clear horse to beat, this is a very open looking contest. Our Place In Louis out-ran big odds at Thirsk last time and shaped as if he is the sort of horse who could win a big-field handicap such as this, while Goninodaethat won over C&D in October and has been running well elsewhere of late. They could both be thereabouts, but preference is for POOR DUKE. He enjoyed a fruitful summer last year with some fine efforts, and has been running over a mile recently despite sprint distances looking to be his optimum. He returns to 6f today and could exploit that step down in trip to land the spoils.
