Kyzer Chief has won once in 42 starts and still looks a few pounds high in the weights though his rider's claim is a bonus. Stablemate BAYBSHAMBLES hasn't won for almost three years but is now quite well treated and went well on a couple of occasions here last year so gets the vote to end that long losing run. Arry's Orse hasn't won for over two years and needs some respite from the assessor but it's never easy to dismiss the veteran Highland Warrior in this class and he's going for his 16th victory on his 131st start. Secret Venue hasn't run for almost a year but would have a chance off this mark if Jedd O'Keeffe has him right.
