Another tight handicap here with very little between many of the leading fancies but the principals look to be Beau Sancy,Everyman and Mark of Love and the vote is given to Mark Of Love. The selection will relish the conditions and although unlucky in running last time out remains on a fair mark and from a good draw looks the one to be on. Beau Sancy is sure to have his supporters but he has never won on any ground softer than good and is taken on with this in mind. Everyman is another that could go well if he gets a run as he looks to have plenty in his favour. Distant Pleasure enters handicaps off what looks a fair mark has conditions to suit and with his yard continuing in good form he has definite place claims. Of the remainder Dark Energy is another that could go well but his best efforts have come over a longer trip and for the winner we return to Mark Of Love.
