A tough race for punters to get out on, but maybe this is the day it all falls right for JOHN CONSTABLE, who has the drying ground he so badly needs, looks on a very winnable mark and ought to get this run to suit his hold-up style. He's risky, but he'll not get many better opportunities. Sofia's Rock is another that will enjoy better ground and could go close, and Shut The Box has the potential for better.
