Verdict

Sunday City has the ability but he is a risky prospect after how he signed off last season, and we will side with WEATHER FRONT ahead of Duke Of Touraine and Lazy Darren. The selection was a little disappointing last time at Cheltenham on the face of it, but he wasn't beaten all that far back in midfield. IT may prove to be that his handicap mark of 119 is too high, but if it isn't and he is happier back on this flatter track, then a big run should be on the cards. Charlie Crab has talent but his jumping needs touching up to say the least, Duke Of Touraine has been winning poorer races and this is the acid test, whilst stablemate Riquez Dancer has been rising up the handicap for holding his form so well. Amazing King was impressive when scoring in an uncompetitive handicap at Musselburgh and must be respected despite a whopping 16lb rise in the weights, however in a tricky finale it is Weather Front who can oblige.
