      Verdict

      TOOCOOLFORSCHOOL landed a Ripon maiden on his second juvenile start in 2014 after which he only contested Listed and Group races and easily won the Mill Reef at Newbury. He didn't run well in three starts last season but takes a massive drop in class and looks the one to be on with race conditions in his favour. Kelinni is in the veteran stages but he's won eleven races in 51 career starts, an excellent strike-rate, and he reappeared with an encouraging effort in a Listed contest at Wolverhampton. Balty Boys has a penalty for his Grade 3 victory at Haydock. and generally needs his first run back though he should be winning again soon as should Rene Mathis, who won a very tough handicap at Goodwood in August on soft going. Indy started his career with a victory at Doncaster on soft ground in 2013 so the lack of a run since last June may not be a problem.
