Not much strength in depth to a weak contest and Sharp Hat stands out on these terms. David Chapman's charge would have been conceding lumps of weight if this were a handicap and comes here in fair form after placed efforts in similar company at Redcar and Doncaster. Al Muallim has always to be feared at this level but finished behind the selection at Doncaster and is unlikely to reverse the form on these terms while Baron Crocodile is capable of going close on his best form but still has a little to find with the principals.
