A race with a big advantage for those leading or racing prominently, which brings in to play, Pure Action, Fastidious, Ecoeye and My Painter in to the equation. Preference is for an each-way play on PROVE THE POINT, who is just a 1lb higher than last win. Beau Satchel, recent form is not that enticing but dropped 6lb below previous winning mark and Youceeyouceecee, who will prefer the drop in trip.
