A unappetising race really from a betting perspective with over half the field running off a basement mark with the one member of the field who looks better than this grade being the penalty-carrying DECLAMATION who won well here last time out and with nothing lurking in the handicap he should be able to follow up. There are a few others that have shown some mild promise on this surface and Deben may well be one of those who can make an impression here after he would have needed the run last time. New Tale, Caledonian Gold and All Or Nothin are three others who may be able to make their mark here given that they have at least proven themselves on the surface in the past.
