Four of the six runners in this modest handicap are previous course winners. BARTHOLOMEW J has achieved both victories here over 1m2f but he stays this longer trip and is probably the one to beat ahead of Widnes, who has run four times here without winning but was third over course and distance on his return to Turf when just ahead of Free Forum. Tyrsal has dropped to a favourable mark while Raakid has been going well on the all-weather but it’s a long time since What A Party got her head in front.
