A really decent bunch of three-year-olds go to post for this handicap which should produce winners into the last few weeks of the season. Of the last time out winners Heatongrad looks the most vulnerable as conditions really looked to suit last time out when getting the run of the race and conditions don’t look as favourable here off a higher mark. Mushaireb has the potential for much better now that he is learning to settle but all season long THE GRAPE ESCAPE has run with credit and he’s proved himself at this level and could well have further improvement left in him. Me Too Nagasaki remains one to be interested in especially back in trip with the remainder of the field looking to have to improve to take a hand here.
