    Verdict

    Hand Painted is our pick in the opener with Skid Solo and Johnny Rook the dangers. Peter Makin's charge was allowed to start at big odds on introduction but there was a lot to like about that Chepstow run and with Seb Sanders aboard this afternoon, he looks most open to progression. Skid Solo is owned by the same connections that are responsible for Winker Watson. Outpaced on his latest start at Ascot, he has proved expensive to follow and is opposed despite this massive drop in grade. Johnny Rook was outclassed at listed level in the Chesham. Nevertheless, he was not without support on the day. Cash In The Attic has to reverse form with our selection in order to win this. Cashed Up is exposed. Definite Honey is related to winning sprinters while American bred Kutanga could literally be anything. Hand Painted gets the nod.
