As difficult a handicap to try and solve as you'll find, with any number of these coming into this in good form and some open to improvement as well. CASKO D'AIRY fits nicely into both of those categories and given connections were bullish about him after his Ascot win, he may well be able to take the weight rise in his stride. Eminent Poet stays very well and the slower the ground, the better his chance. He'll be staying on, as will veteran Folsom Blue, who may not be the force of old but is well enough handicapped. Flemcara may do better than he did when seventh last year, Virginia Chick keeps rolling along and Lord Napier continues in good form.
