Toss The Caber looks the percentage call in a competitive but moderate affair and is preferred to Dramatic Review and Mister Buzz. The last mentioned has run with credit in non-handicap sellers in his last two starts and has to be respected back in a handicap today, while Sweet Potato showed signs of a revival at Musselburgh last time and should be thereabouts if able to reproduce that form here. Top weight General Max is gradually dropping back to a fair mark but probably needs more help from the handicapper and of more interest may be Dramatic Review. who has slipped to a fair mark and signalled at Redcar last time that his turn may not be far away. Desert Buzz has claims on the pick of his form but is not the most consistent of performers and a safer bet looks to be Toss The Caber, for who a reproduction of last time out form should be good enough.
