Middleton Grey, York Cliff and Lakelands Lady look the ones to concentrate on in this tough handicap and we will side with York Cliff. The five year old has dropped to a fair mark goes well fresh and with the booking of Dane O'Niel catching the eye he is taken to score.Middleton Grey rates the main danger on his best form as he loves it round here and he showed signs of a revival when sixth behind Cardinal Venture last time. Lakelands Lady could also go well but she looks to have regressed. Of the remainder Brandy Cove was a good second behind Singeovese last time and still remains at the right end of the weights, but in a tricky affair we are happy to stick with York Cliff.
