A most-competitive handicap with few exposed runners. CALCULATE is drawn higher than ideal in Stall 13 but has very much shaped like one who will be at home handicapping over middle distances and looks to have been given plenty of scope to progress by the BHA handicapper from an opening mark of 67. Keady Town looked ready for this step up in trip when runner-up at Wolverhampton a fortnight ago and rates as the main danger, with Mr Swivell and Rocket Warrior also shortlisted.
