Despite a 6lb penalty for winning at Nottingham nine days ago, OUZO (NAP) is difficult to oppose in this. He drops down a grade and showed he handled soft ground earlier at Haydock. God Has Given probably ran his best race so far last time but that was on much faster going. Spencers Son has been best on Polytrack so far and has shown little this season while Facethepuckout is fully exposed. Brawny and Carey Street are equally hard to fancy.
