A weaker-looking renewal of this race, preference is for WHAT'S THE STORY, who has thrived in handicap company - particularly at York - and looks to have found a good opportunity to grab this type of contest onto his CV against lesser rivals. Big Country has a similar CV but has been found wanting at this level before (especially on turf) but he exceeded expectations last time out and would be dangerous to dismiss. Forest Ranger is usually found at a higher level but has been disappointing of late and may struggle with the lumps of weight while Encapsulation could be better than what her current form book suggests.
