    Verdict

    Not many of these look especially well handicapped, so it may pay to keep it simple and concentrate on those with the best draw. Liberatum looks sure to go well off only 4lb higher than for his success last time, while Boundsy has to be in the mix if effective back at 5f. However, this could be the day that IMPART bounces back to form. He is 2lb lower than when winning earlier in the season and should get the run of the race from stall three. Blue Rocks would have a squeak if first-time blinkers work their magic.
