This stayers handicap has a wide open look to it and the morning market might well provide some significant clues. Warrsan is likely to be a popular choice on the back of his good second to the classy High Pitched at Newbury last week but he had a fairly hard race and it's asking a lot of him to go one better after a break of only five days. Conquestadora could prove hard to beat if continuing his upward curve and won with more in hand than the winning margin suggests when scoring at Salisbury last time. He looks progressive and might attract punters interest in early morning trading. Ranville was in great form last term and has to be respected but may need this first outing of the campaign and Demi Beau who won his maiden at Musselburgh recently has a lot more on his plate this time. Turtle Valley wouldn't be without a chance and it is interesting that Richard Quinn who partnered him at York last time takes the mount again.
