Verdict
Battlecry wouldn't have enjoyed the heavy ground at Ffos Las and is usually thereabouts though still 7lb higher than his only recent success. Fabalu has been in good form lately and shouldn't be far away again but the handicapper appears to have a grip on Scottish National sixth Garleton and Ayr third Brunswick Gold was well beaten over C&D off this mark in February. TYRONE HOUSE only weakened at the last when third at Perth last month and is entitled to strip fitter here. Successful at the track in the autumn, he could be worth a small interest today. Any Currency may need more of a stamina test but blinkers could sharpen him up a little and The Magic Bishop also has a squeak, though is a couple of pounds out of the handicap.
