An open handicap with plenty making their first start in a handicap along with a few others who will appreciate the extra distance. IMPERIAL ELYSIAN comes from a yard that can do little wrong this season and having won cosily at Huntingdon recently he’s taken to follow up off just a 4lb higher mark. Airton if he can cope with the return to this grade will appreciate this trip as will Mead Vale who ran a sound race last time and looks to be on his way back. Of the handicap newcomers Another Tuco and Vital Sign take the eye although the most interesting of that group would be One For Dunstan his pedigree is all stamina and with a mark gained over 2m he may well be well weighted in this.
