Verdict

Some solid looking types in this who can forge decent careers in handicaps like Redgrave and Rely On Me but off their marks they do look as though they could be vulnerable to any improvers in the race. Robin Weathers could firmly be put in that category but it's hard to know what to expect from that one on his handicap debut and SAAHEQ looks a fascinating contender now that he steps into handicaps. His maiden form isn't anything to write home about but the chances are he'll settle better in this sphere and could well come on a ton for going handicapping.
