Verdict

Banta Bay is interesting at the foot of the handicap having produced his best effort on his latest start. That form has worked out to an extent that suggests he starts the campaign on a decent mark. John Best's charge returns from a six month break and it may be more prudent to side with POWER POWER who has a fitness edge. The topweight is progressing with each run and was just touched off close home at Kempton. More of a threat may come from Metronomic who made all last time and is well drawn here. A 6lb penalty makes this a lot tougher but he still should be thereabouts.
