VERDICT : On official ratings Boomerang Bob is the one to beat,though has question marks, having not won for well over two years.Also yet to race on fibresand .Odds around 6-4 look way too short .

Course-specialist ABI SCARLET has been knocking on the door in handicap company recently, and will be suited returning to claiming company ,having won this race last year .Should go well off bottom weight .Odds around 9-2 look very fair each-way value .
