Most of these would struggle to win a seller nowadays and that includes the once-useful Regal Parade, who isn't getting any younger but should enjoy the going. Port Lairge does best at Brighton but Guanabara Bay has every chance on recent form, including a close second over 6f here when only a pound lower. GREAT EXPECTATIONS ran his best race in a while over 7f at Wolverhampton. He's 3lb higher back on Turf but the booking of Paul Hanagan is a positive. Dose and Trust Me Boy could be the pick of the remainder, though Refuse Colette is the only one of these to have won at the track.
