Winning this event last year HARB (5) has taken a liking to the venue. Did well to return from a four-month break securing a narrow course and distance victory nineteen days ago. Raised 3lb for that effort and may strip fitter to complete a double. SECRET HANDSHEIKH (2) was a close-up fifth behind the main selection in that recent course handicap. Must be respected under a penalty carried for his commanding all-the-way Class Six success at Brighton (5½f) last time. SOUL SEEKER (1) cannot be ignored running off the same rating as when third over 5f at Beverley in latest. MEDIA GUEST (6) also warrants consideration.
