A wide-open handicap this but top-weight ESPRIT DE BAILEYS can overcome that burden given his thoroughly progressive nature since moving over from France earlier this year. Dangers aplenty include Potters Lady Jane who won well here last time out and Right About Now who did likewise and is very much a course specialist.
