Optima Petamus will no doubt prove popular stepping back up in trip for his handicap debut especially as Game Show is struggling for form. But GIANTOUCH (NAP) looks better value dropping down a grade having competed in Class 3 company since winning a maiden over course and distance in April. Richard Hughes partnered Sarsted when the latter won his maiden last year and is back on board today but Hector's Chance has to race off a higher mark back on the all-weather and Estibdaad is preferred having scored here last month off a 3lb lower mark.
