This is anybody's race. Mistamel, Molten Lava and Las Superba are probably capable of better now handicapping but Cape Cay failed to land the odds in a handicap at Wolverhampton back in January when a well beaten third. Cloud Seven found only one too good over track and trip in December and has claims on that form while Percy Veer and Cape Xenia won maiden races last year. Dubai Breeze may also figure stepping up in distance but the speculative vote goes to PRECAST, fourth over course and distance at the start of the month when running into all sorts of trouble but expected to go close with normal luck in-running.
