Racy is clear at the weights but in dire form and is dropped in class as a consequence. He'll figure if anywhere near his best as will Noverre To Go, but the latter has done all his winning so far over 6f and ABOVE THE STARS looks the safest option. The latter recorded a hat-trick when successful in a handicap over track and trip last week and can continue winning ways despite today's unfavourable terms. Sextons House and Batchworth Firefly have even tougher tasks at the weights and are hard to fancy.
