Most of these have won around here and Inflection Point won the race a year ago. John McConnell's charge was on a 21lb lower mark when scoring over 6f last week so a 7lb rise shouldn't prove too much of an inconvenience. Linus Larrabee was on a hat-trick when just failing to concede Selective Power 7lb last month but had earlier beaten SCARLET DANCER a head and there's nothing in it at the revised weights. The latter has been staying on over 6f the last twice and a return to this trip can see him gain his first victory on the track. There are numerous dangers in a wide-open handicap including the in-form Mullacash Buzz, who just failed to make all when last seen at Fairyhouse in September.
