Fairly modest fare and quite a few of these will need to find some improvement to take a hand. Danceintothelight won this in 2015 when trained by Micky Hammond and given an easy lead you would not rule her out going close again. Rock Of Leon put his quirks to one side last time in a weak affair but can he be relied on to do so again back in handicap company while Russian Royale is another who has to step up on what she achieved last time. The aforementioned Micky Hammond may well have a good chance of winning this race again though via ALLFREDANDNOBELL who was a fortunate winner last time but has displayed better form in the past and a wind operation looks to have helped.
