Verdict

A number appear to have been prepared with nursery campaigns in mind including handicap debutant, PESCI who has shown enough ability in three novice starts to suggest he'll be a player now attentions are turned to handicaps after being gelded. One To Go is progressing steadily and put together his best run yet when just beaten at Nottingham this month over a longer trip so and David Allan looking to make the most of guaranteed stamina around this testing track. Spirit Kingdom still has to concede weight all round despite going off the boil after a promising start to his campaign but he wouldn't be the first or last to bounce back for his leading stable. Five Helmets is also worth a mention on the best of his form.
