Verdict

Phluke handled this surface well when going down by a length and a half to Smokin Joe last time and can go one better today at the expense of Fools Entire and Pregnant Pause. Fulke Johnson Houghton's gelding has also raced with distinction at Southwell when a close up third behind some consistent performers and he is still quite unexposed so more improvement can be expected. Pregnant Pause and Fools Entire met here in early December in the race won by the selections stable-mate Off Beat. Fools Entire came out on top that day but will find it difficult to confirm the form with a four pound turnaround in the weights. It is quite an open affair and Jamie Osborne's lightly raced Among Dreams is weighted to go close and Maunby Raver has some good winning form, however Johnson Houghton has a good line to the three-year-old handicap form and Phluke is taken to land the spoils
