Giganticus won well last time out and can score again here at the main expense of Red Somerset and Song Of Passion. Barry Hills' son of Giants Causeway bounced back with a bang last month, having obviously wintered very well. His trainer does so well at the track and whilst he may prefer a more galloping track, if he handles these tight bends, he could be hard to beat from his plum draw. Song Of Passion should be fitter for her recent spin on the all-weather and deserves plenty of respect having won at this meeting last year. Dhaular Dhar has won around here before and loves tight left-handed tracks. Don't rule him out. Glenbuck needs to bounce back after a lacklustre recent effort. Red Somerset was a good third last time out and has claims, but this looks like a good opportunity for Giganticus to follow up.
