Las Ramblas (IRE) despite not getting his head in front for a long time is a tentative selection for this puzzling handicap. Andrew Reid's gelding has been slowly falling down the handicap and has been running creditably in defeat of late. Mantles Pride won a claimer towards the backend of last season over today's trip and has won off a much higher mark than this before. Only For Gold has been running well on the AW of late and has run well on this track in the past. Teyaar is very consistent and deserves to win a race of this quality although the handicapper doesn't do him any favours.
