A tricky opener with just 6lb separating the entire field on BHA handicap ratings (six of the ten are rated 90). Dave Evans utilises the 5lb claim of Ray Dawson aboard Mr Top Hat and that provides an interesting angle with the eased-in-grade four-year-old gelding perfectly adept under today's conditions. However, the attention is also drawn to TULFARRIS and Trolius who finished second and third respectively in a similar C&D contest last month. The Simon Crisford-trained runner could feasibly strip fitter for that appearance (his first since February), but the selection is more familiar with soft to heavy ground conditions and that tips the scales in his favour.
