This is a very poor quality handicap and it would be no shock if Curzon Line bounced back to form despite a big weight as he's taken a big drop in the ratings and hasn't been suited to Fibresand in his most recent runs. Outlaw Torn, well beaten at Newcastle on Tuesday, has won a dozen races in his career and is always capable of popping up in this company but Roger Thorpe has never won on Turf though he's gone close on several occasions from this sort of mark. Mowhoob was in reasonable form last summer though doesn't win very often while Bush Beauty's four victories have all been at Wolverhampton. I'M SUPER TOO has managed to win eight of his 70 starts and has now dropped to his lowest ever mark. He was staying on quite strongly at the finish over an extended 7f at Beverley last time and gets the nod by process of elimination.
