Barnet Fair hasn't won since last August but he's been running well in tough handicaps and is only 1lb higher. PERFECT MUSE (NAP) has won three races on quick going so she's produced very good efforts on her last two starts in softer ground. She has the beating of Oh So Sassy and Rio Ronaldo on their run here a month ago and looks the one to be on. Shipyard is in excellent form and won a very tough handicap at Ripon though he wouldn't want the ground to dry out any more. Elusivity doesn't win often and his two recent runs have been on testing ground.
