This looks wide-open with only a speculative vote going to TICK TOCH. She never troubled the winner when third over track and trip but should improve now handicapping. The latter comment also applies to Don't Look Back while Uss Nimitz steps up in trip after a better effort at Newcastle on his handicap debut. Dream Chaser has been raised 5lb after going close here and Shady Mcgee has been beaten since defeating The Nail Gunner by a short-head here last month. Cuban Cigar is another with a shout on a recent second at Chelmsford.
