Another good handicap here with some in form rivals in opposition including Diamond Monroe, He's The Biz and Sloane Street and the confident vote goes to the last named. The four-year-old won so well at Doncaster when defeating Just Beth that he is taken to win again despite his rise in the weights with conditions again in his favour. He's The Biz rates the main danger, having won well last out when defeating Golfagent, but that form has since taken a knock so for that reason he is opposed. Diamond Monroe is also in form but he was all out to win last time and the handicapper may have caught up with him now. Of the remainder Emphatic was a good second behind Phar From Frosty last time and the drop in trip should suit but we are happy to side with the bang in form Sloane Street.
