This looks wide-open with several open to plenty of further improvement making their handicap debuts. That extensive list includes Move Up, Le Roi Du Temps, Fool To Cry, Swift Response and Midnight Macchiato. Quick N Quirky stayed on late over 7f at Catterick last time so looks ready for this step up in trip while Miniaturist, Auxiliary and Deansgate have already displayed a decent level of form. MIDHMAAR only won a three-runner race over a mile at Salisbury last month but ran really well off this mark at Doncaster subsequently when he got no cover. That shouldn't be a problem here and, from a low draw, he's probably the one to beat.
