        Verdict

        Molly Jones is hard to fancy from 10lb out of the handicap but you could probably throw a blanket over the remainder at the weights, though several of these are returning from a break. Back on Turf, Roy's Legacy may be worth opposing but Swendab shouldn’t be far away and is one of five previous course and distance winners. Providing a low draw doesn’t prove a disadvantage, we’ll take a chance on 2015 winner POWERFUL WIND as he’s run well on Polytrack and Fibresand recently and is 6lb lower than when last successful on this surface. Silverrica and Quantum Dot also warrants a second look.
