A small but competitive field goes to post for this handicap and all the runners have a chance on there best form. Royal Storm and Flint River are at the top of there game at the moment and could easily fight out the finish. Royal Storm is from the bang in form Amanda Perret yard and he ran well when fifth behind Namroud at Chester on Wednesday. He will appreciate this track and with conditions in his favour he should not be far away. Flint River was just touched off by Tesio last time and a reproduction of that effort would make him hard to beat even though he is racing off a slightly higher mark. Kareeb was a fair fourth behind Grizedale over course and distance and that form looks rock solid so he is another that could go well in a wide open affair. Icanshift is from a yard that is beginning to hit top form and he looks to be on a handy mark so any market confidence should be noted. Of the remainder Oases is in form and is still at the right end of the handicapper but he needs to improve again to score.
