In depth

Verdict

Another headache here for punters with another tough handicap to solve however the principals look to be Gig Harbour, Mr Mischief, Flight Of Esteem and Internationalguest and the tentative vote goes to Mr Mischief. The gelding from the Patrick Haslam yard was an unlucky in running third behind Cold Turkey last time when Internationalguest was second. However the promising apprentice Rory Moore takes off a handy seven pounds and he is taken ton gain his revenge on that rival here.Flight Of Esteem could also go well he was a good second behind Gig Harbour last time but is better off at the weights with that rival here. However Gig Harbour won with plenty in hand and there should not be much between them. Barry Island is another worthy of respect he won well last time out and if he sees out this longer trip he will not be far away as he won in the style of an improver then. But summing up in a fascinating affair where there should not be much between many of the runners we are happy to side with Mr Mischief
