Verdict
Duke Of Firenze won this a year ago and was only beaten a head in a strong handicap over slightly further on the track in August. He has a fair chance despite a big weight while East Street Revue and Love On The Rocks fought out a finish in another tough handicap here and the latter has just enough pull in the weights to reverse the form. Robot Boy beat a big field here in October but is 9lb higher due to some fine subsequent form on the all-weather but was behind SOIE D'LEAU at Doncaster on his next start. Kristin Stubbs' charge made a very pleasing comeback at Newbury and with that under his belt looks the one to be on. Gamesome was behind the selection on Town Moor and Fast Act's double in the autumn came in Class 4 events and he's 5lb higher. Mont Kiara is well enough handicapped at his best and looks best of the remainder.
