Luck in running could well play a part in this 6f handicap which isn’t an easy contest to unravel. Of those looking to go one better than their runner-up spot last time Porto Ferro would be the pick and it’s not hard to see her reversing the form with Knockout Blow who isn’t the most consistent. Mercers will need another strong pace to strike off and if she gets that scenario she appeals as one to go close while Broughtons Excels should be happier back on Polytrack. The well handicapped NAUTICAL HAVEN is hard to ignore though given his mark now and how he shaped over 5f last time and don’t ignore Bernie’s Boy who gave notice he was on his way back last time and is a dual course winner.
