This looks tricky and the bottom four are out of the handicap. Rufus King has the outside berth which won't help though he's taking a drop in class as is It Dont Come Easy, who has been racing in Group company since his Musselburgh victory which came on fast going. The latter's stable companion Zap ran very well in a lucrative sales race at Doncaster and has form on good to soft but GINBAR was very impressive when making all in a novices' contest at Haydock and, though not ideally drawn, has the pace to get to the front early and stay there. Han Solo Berger was very slowly away when odds-on at Carlisle and this is much tougher while June Dog doesn't appear to have progressed.
