This is another competitive-looking handicap and it features the last two winners. Waikiki Waves was successful 12 months ago and is only 3lb higher but Never Learn is still 7lb higher than taking the spoils in 2018. Uallrightharry has done most of his racing at Plumpton but did win here last year and goes well fresh. Eclair De Guye has had wind surgery since scoring at Southwell in March and is another past course winner. Mine's A Pint still looks in good form but Tzar De L'Elfe is just 1-23 over fences with that sole victory coming on soft going. The ground has been heavy when NATIVE ROBIN has won here in the past but he handles quicker surfaces and doesn’t look badly treated ahead of a return to action
