Verdict

Plenty of the runners in this handicap are making seasonal returns an although most have chances we look to one with race sharpness and FOL LIAM with Topcroft and Kyleene looking very interesting if fully wound up. A winner on his seasonal bow the pick should be that bit sharper which should aid in his quest to overcome a three pound mark rise. That run came over course and distance and Jamie Spencer looks a positive jockey booking. Topcroft comes here in search of a four-timer and if fit enough on his return has every chance of landing that feat off the same mark as his last score. Kyleene is unexposed and was successful on her course and distance debut the last time we saw her. She's up three pounds for that, which seems fair, and with scope for more she has to be respected. Gazboolou put in an improved effort last time so if building on that might go close while Trade Centre has a consistent profile and should give his running again. Plenty of these are in with chances but Fol Liam might just have the edge on fitness.
