Always a strong 3-y-o handicap. CIRCUS OF ROME shaped well in what was likely a good handicap at Sandown last month and might be worth chancing with the Richard Hughes team continuing in form. The Charlton stable has a good record in this race so Wave Rider has to be interest now moving into his first handicap on the back of 3 promising runs in novices over shorter trips. Asmen Warrior is another who has built a solid platform for handicaps and completes the shortlist.
