An open looking handicap chase in which the four-timer seeking Pointed And Sharp would appear to be vulnerable with further rainfall forecast (winning sequence has occurred on good ground), while a number of those declared are returning to action for their respective seasonal reappearances. Chris Gordon's Commandant is almost certain to race prominently, and should be suited by dropping back in trip around this sharp track. However, with race-fitness also assured a clear preference is for the top-weighted ECU DE LA NOVERIE who gave the distinct impression that a longer trip was a prerequisite to further success at Wetherby (1m7f) last month.
