Competitive stuff but probably no tougher than the C&D handicap GRAND INQUISITOR finished a close-up third in last time out from the same mark. Given that he has a more favourable draw now, it would be no surprise to see him regain the winning thread. Call Me Grumpy has proved expensive to follow since landing a gamble on his reappearance but would be a threat if his stamina holds out over this trip, whilst similar sentiments apply to Sea Shack. Of the rest, Miss Pacific remains with potential, though her draw is not ideal.
