    Verdict

    This looks an easy task for Irbee at these weights despite him struggling in the closing stages of late. He has the best form of any of these and runs for an in-form yard. He has not run on ground as soft as this for a long while though he did cope with it in his early days. Border Light has been showing good form in point-to-points of late but his efforts under rules suggests he will struggle at these weights. Mighty Moss has ability but he returns here after a long lay off and has never run particularly well fresh in the past. Suez Tornado is a shadow of his former self and is best avoided here having failed to complete in his last two outings.
