MISTER DEE BEE is given the strong vote to win this handicap with both Multiplication and Pride of Kings worth a mention. The selection has gained back to back victories at Ripon and Warwick of late, with the latter of those victories carrying a penalty. He is only four pounds higher in the weights as a result which we feel is not enough to stop him winning again. Multiplication broke her maiden tag at Warwick last time out and runs in her first handicap. She is running off a mark of 79 which looks a fair one so any market moves should be noted. Pride of Kings is five pounds higher in the weights since scoring at Nottingham earlier in the month and comes from a yard having plenty of winners of late so he is added to the short list. Mister Dee Bee comes into this race in fine form and is taken to land his hat-trick.
