Verdict

This handicap has a strong look to it and A PERFECT DAY could be the answer. He did the job well when scoring at Lingfield and it's unlikely that a 6 lb rise will be enough to stop him in his tracks. Punta Del Este represents last year's winning yard and he looks a big threat having taken a step back in the right direction last time. Turndlightsdownlow is third choice, while Champagne Chic and Oh My Johnny are others to consider.
