Verdict

Pleney could do a bit better in this weak contest, but he has it to prove on this ground and the same goes for Go To Court. Pads and Simply Lucky find winning difficult, but that is not to rule them out of placed runs again here, while Court Baloo looks very tempting after a wide margin win, but a 10lb rise and his poor record at backing up a good run have to be concerns. Therefore, almost by default, it could be worth turning to MOORLANDS MIST, who won this from today's mark last year and could be primed for a repeat.
