Many in with chances in this ultra competitive handicap including Melodian, Artistic Flyer, Mount Hilary and Got To Be Cash with a tentative vote going to the last named. Got To Be Cash managed to win an apprentice handicap at Chepstow on his penultimate run and without a penalty ran with much credit when a narrow beaten fourth in similar a similar grade to this last time out. The Brisbourne yard are in such fantastic form at present and with horse proven on soft ground a big run must be expected. Melodian is another who prefers soft or even heavy conditions. He is running out of his skin at present with a win at Haydock last time out and numerous placed efforts beforehand and is only three pounds higher for his win so must be respected. Artistic Flyer is well in as he is set to rise a further five pounds for his two recent wins at Musselburgh and Nottingham. Again those wins came on soft surface so is very much a threat. Mount Hilary came on for his seasonal reappearance to finish second at Nottingham earlier in the month and a big run will be expected. Many with chances then but a tentative vote goes to Got To Be Cash.
