UNISON has been raised 8lb but wasn’t unduly troubled when winning by nearly four lengths at Sandown last time. Silvestre De Sousa was on board for his earlier victory at the same track and the hat-trick beckons. Mister Music was narrowly beaten at Sandown last time and can figure along with Force, who found only one too good at Nottingham recently. Dark Devil has been thereabouts in higher grade handicaps of late and is another to consider while Reaver has been running well on the all-weather but Big Chill’s recent win came in a maiden race at Chepstow and he’ll find this much tougher.
