Verdict

After being noted running his best race for a long time until hampered in the final 1f latest VALLEY OF FIRE is worth chancing here especially with the handicapper removing another 2lb from his back. In a wide-open contest recent winners Retirement Beckons who runs well here and Macs Blessings have to be taken seriously also.
