None of these inspire confidence and a purely speculative vote goes to MEN DON'T CRY. He's been thereabouts over 7f lately and is worth another try at today's distance. Two Sugars has also been running well without success though the handicapper refuses to relent but he has dropped Isingy Red 3lb after the latter's latest third at Yarmouth. Belle Park won at Bath in August but is 8lb higher now and Percythepinto could prove best of the remainder.
