This valuable handicap can fall to Subpoena with Freeloader, High Bray and Gaelic Prince all capable of taking a hand in the finish. The Godolphin runner needs to step up on his handicap debut at Epsom recently, but like a lot of the stable's runners he may have needed the outing. His form of last season was of a very high standard and he should go well off his current mark. Freeloader was an impressive winner at Sandown last month and the form has received numerous compliments. Meanwhile High Bray was most impressive when landing two very competitive races recently, you do though have to forgive his latest effort. Gaelic Princess is an improving mare, she landed the double when easily winning over the seven furlong trip last time and should go close in her hat-trick bid. In a wide open contest Red Spell must also enter calculations, but if Subpoena is back to his best he will take some beating.
