This boasts the biggest field of the day but it won’t take much winning. It was heavy going when the exposed Barnay finished second at Uttoxeter and he won;t have those conditions here. A couple of four-year-olds could fight out the finish with WAKOOL preferred to Bullion Boss. Nick Alexander’s grey did well to recover from a bad mistake to finish third at Musselburgh last time and doesn’t look badly treated on his handicap debut. Nicky Richards’ charge disappointed when just behind Fasterkhani at Wetherby last time but that race has produced winners. Swilly Sunset races off the same mark as when third at Fakenham last month but Jaxlight looks to have gone off the boil.
