Plenty of winning form on offer but only Juanito Chico and Plant Pot Power have won a handicap. The former is upped 7lb for his success at Brighton and though the latter won at Newmarket he was well beaten behind third-placed SHIPPING FORECAST last time. The latter drops down a grade for this and Brian Meehan’s colt is preferred to recent maiden winners Anfaass and Hajaj. Nibras Bounty appeared not to stay the mile trip at Windsor and should do better here.
