Verdict

Several to consider in this competitive handicap, with DICKO THE LEGEND earning the vote. He bounced back from a couple of below par efforts when a solid fourth in the Ayr Bronze Cup on his latest start and, having acquitted himself well on the all-weather last winter, he is interesting back on a synthetic surface. Showtime Mahomes didn't get the rub of the green when third over C&D on Saturday and he is greatly respected, while Too Much and Wee Fat Mac also enter calculations.

  2. SHOWTIME MAHOMES
  3. TOO MUCH
