Emperor Bob won this last year from an inside berth but that was the last time he's won and he's on the outside here. TOM DOOLEY completed a mid-summer handicap double and, though unable to cope from his new mark, this is a drop in class and he can get back to winning ways. Jamie Osborne has acquired the ultra-consistent Tidal's Baby from Tony Carroll though he was beaten in a Brighton seller last time and though Dovil's Duel would have the form for this at his best he's been running so poorly that he's overlooked, as is Mzuri,who is 0-29.
