Verdict
FOL LIAM is capable of taking this if running at his optimum, and gets the nod ahead of Swiss Art (who looks the pick of Ron Harris' entrants) and Iron Out. Ian Williams is having a decent season, and puts first time headgear on Fol Liam, his only runner on the card, in a bid to see a return to the sort of form which saw him win his first two races last year. He's not come close to landing a blow since, but first time too on the all-weather may bring about a change of fortune. He's dropped down the ratings, but still has the highest mark in the field, and a low draw. Swiss Art won a couple of sellers over a mile here in March, but hasn't been able to follow up elsewhere. Kinigi, the yard's other runner, is the only course and distance winner in the field, but those back to back successes in November have been followed by four disappointing efforts here. Iron Out has been poor in handicap company, but his best effort came here when second in a maiden. Breeding would suggest this is his most effective surface. A number have realistic claims, but we'll side with Fol Liam.
