Not many worthy of consideration with only Havana Star and Allux Boy of any interest of those lower down the weights, with the pair to concentrate upon listed at the top of the handicap. Top Offer is a reliable AW performer who is at his sharpest on this racing surface (Tapeta). He arrives off the back of a gritty win at Newcastle, but a slight preference is for the David Loughnane-trained LORD MURPHY. He was noted staying on well from off the pace over 7f here in August, and sits just 1lb above his last winning mark (C&D).
