As you would expect for a competitive handicap there are a few that can be fancied to run well in this with all the last time out winners coming under consideration. Both Gulf OF Poets and Cosmic Ray are looking to complete hat-tricks and must be respected while Fivehundredmiles looks capable of further improvememt. Gerry The Glover has threatened on more than one occasion to go close and needs watching in the market and race while Desert Ruler would be interesting if his form could be guaranteed in the conditions. Toboggan’s Fire acts on the surface but would be winning off a career high mark and overall the vote goes to CARNAGEO who looked a little unlucky last time out and will love the return to this trip and surface.
