A wide open handicap rounds off proceedings and many would be given chances on their best form but the principals look to be Barton Sands, Absolute Utopia, Anyhow and Great View and we will take a chance on Barton Sands. The gelding from the Martin Pipe yard won well last time out when defeating Absolute Utopia and although that rival is slightly better off at the weights here we go for Barton Sands to come out on top again. Anyhow won well last time out when defeating Mighty Pip but he will find this tougher under his penalty and their again should not be much between them. Great View could also go well he goes well on the ground and is in fair form but we are happy to side with Barton Sands who won so well last time out.
