Tizi Ouzou should be capable of landing this weak event, Barranco and Kiwi Riverman could be the main rivals. Martin Pipe's yard is a bit hit and miss at the moment but their victory in the Ladbroke Handicap on Saturday must be a positive sign. Tizi Ouzou also looked on the way back to form, last time when a close up fifth behind King's Rock. She has been dropping down the ratings and could be ready to strike this afternoon. Barranco has been running well in better company and hails from a yard still in decent form, a big run can be expected. Kiwi Riverman caught the eye last time with an improved effort and should be in the shake up off the minimum weight. It is a race to treat with caution, but Tizi Ouzou should be good enough to land the spoils.
