A very decent handicap to end the card, and a number of these can be given a chance. Mobo Baco comes here on a hat trick, having followed his selling victory at Leicester with an even better performance in a classified stakes at Pontefract. He carries a six pound penalty today, but still has to be respected while in this mood. Summer Bounty is another in good form, having gone down narrowly to Sporting Gesture on the same Pontefract card and should again go well here. Danish Decorum chased home the in-form Tarawan at Leicester on his reappearance and on a line through Sporting Gesture there is not much to choose between him and Summer Bounty, so he too must go on the shortlist. However, we will take a chance here with Clive Btrittain's Invader. He was far from disgraced in a hot handicap at Pontefract on his return to turf last time, and is now racing off a mark two pounds lower than when finishing second in last year's Royal Hunt Cup. Invader loves to dominate, and if Willie Ryan can pop him out in front from stall 3, then he could take some catching.
