Verdict

Times Up won the November Handicap at Doncaster on his final start of 2010 but was well beaten on his reappearance at the same track last month and will be at the handicapper's mercy this term. It's a while since Merchant Of Dubai, Coin Of The Realm and Perpetually saw the racecourse but the latter's stablemate Fox Hunt comes here in good heart having won at Deauville in March. Sharaayeen, Life And Soul and The Fonz should all win races again this season while it will be interesting to see how Sweet Origin fares against better opposition on his first try on turf. But the interesting one in this opener may be last year's runner-up CHIBERTA KING, who goes really well fresh and is back on the same mark as when successful over a longer trip here a little under 12 months ago.
