Verdict
Dickens probably has place claims running in only his second handicap. Tara Iti was a close third at Plumpton after winning here last month and regular rider Rob Hargeaves takes off 10lb again but he would not have beaten MICKYH on the first occasion had Caoilin Quinn’s mount not fallen when clear at the last and the latter deserves another chance. Stanley Pincombe is in good form and certainly not out of this with Charlie My Boy and Mr Snow Way others to consider.
