1230 Southwell-Neighbourhood is a different animal here than anywhere else.Its record here since going into handicaps is 1-2-2-1-1.It returns to the track for the first time since its last win and is a very solid fav.If it got anywhere near the 4.5 mark then it would be fair value.

Rock of Ages is a little in and out but produced a good run last time and has run here once when it achieved its best career rating.Hopefully it will maintain its form and wont be far away.

Tobrata has won here and stays this trip although may be slightly better at shorter.

Tamalett has looked poor so far but goes into a handicap for the first time and the jockey is 7 wins from 29 rides for this yard.

High on a hill won its last race but that was over further and it definitely had the run of the race that day.Its carrying a big weight,drops in trip and goes on this surface for the first time(Sire 8% on it).Its rating it achieved last time when it won wouldnt win this anyway.

Its got lots to prove and shouldnt 2nd favourite.
