What Do You Know, Valley of The Moon and Deserted Dane make most appeal in this handicap and the vote goes to What Do You Know. Valley Of The Moon won well last time at Ripon but this is more competitive he could be one to take on. What Do You Know therefore looks a much better alternative as he arrives here looking for his third win in a row. This track will suit his style of running as he likes to trailblaze and with the ground to suit he should go well. Deserted Dane has been running consistently but he looks to have a little to find to win this, while Garlogs is another that could be vulnerable today under a penalty. This is a competitive handicap which can go the way of What Do You Know.
