No recent winning form to consider but a couple of these were narrowly beaten over track and trip on their latest starts in separate divisions of the same handicap. Decisive was just held by Silver Springs while KENSTONE finished a couple of lengths clear of the rest when beaten a short-head by Anieres Boy and may just edge this. Unlike most of these, Dream Ally and Captain Scooby have actually won a race before and both continue to slip down the weights while Bemusement may finish closer now handicapping for the first time.
