A very open-looking handicap but Neil Mulholland’s stable has been firing in the winners and he’ll be expecting Southwell winner Harbour Force to go close again under a penalty. Evita Du Mesnil has decent claims and Symphony Hall is starting took well treated but Shantou Sunset continues to disappoint. CYBALKO is a long-standing maiden but wasn’t beaten far at Southwell on his reappearance and he’s dropped to a mark from which he should be capable of winning.
