A competitive handicap here with many in form rivals in opposition including Steely Dan, Titian Lass and Aguila Loco and the vote goes to Steely Dan. The five-year-old has been in fair form of late without winning and as a consequence he remains on a fair mark and with conditions to suit he will be hard to beat. Titian Lass rates the main danger she won well last time out when defeating Yankeedoodledandy but that was over a longer distance and the drop in trip is not sure to suit. Aguila Loco is also worthy respect he won well last time out when defeating Lord Chamberlain but he will find this harder under his penalty. Harbour House could also go well he was was a fair second behind Miss Peaches last time and remains on a fair mark but for the winner we return to Steely Dan.
