These are a pretty modest bunch but On High is the type to do better now tackling handicaps. Black Granite is another and Giannizzero was placed twice at Nottingham over the summer and is a bit less exposed than British Embassy and Pink Ribbon. MYWAYALWAYS (NAP) has run quite well against better opposition in his last two starts here and at Newmarket. Eased in the weights, David Evans gelding could be a bit of value in this.
