Not a race that has any great strength in depth and it’s hard to see past the two main protagonists in Dandy Duke and GROUNDUNDERREPAIR. The former faces very different conditions here to those that saw him romp to victory at Chepstow and that coupled with a 12lb higher mark may just find him out here. The latter ran into a well handicapped improving type last time and this increased trip should suit him and he’s given a narrow vote to get off the mark in handicaps. The others all look as though they may have been better in the past although conditions are in favour of Waltz Darling and any market moves for the well handicapped Bohemian Rhapsody should be noted given he showed a little more on the Flat last time.
