This is anybody's race and a purely speculative vote goes the way of RED SEVENTY. He showed his first decent form of the season when third in a Salisbury conditions race last time after dropping 15lb in the weights this year. A case can be made for both Rustic Deacon and Bond Fastrac at the top of the handicap while Master Mylo wasn't far away at Folkestone last time. Trojan Rocket has a shout along with Comrade Bond and the inconsistent Bunraku would figure on his best form.
