Verdict

Masalai has generally been consistent and, though on a losing run before last week's victory over the track and trip, looks certain to be a major player with just 3lb extra to contend with. Fit For Function is 2-19 on the track but has mainly been running well and the assessor is giving him a chance. SLADE RUNNER (NAP) was having only his second start for Kieran Cotter when landing a handicap last month then only just failed to overcome a 5lb rise. He may be capable of a bit better so gets the nod though there are plenty of dangers further down the weights including Jm Barrie, who has dropped to a winnable mark and showed more dash last time, and Amazing One, who has found 6f too sharp the last twice.
