Verdict
KAIZER won well on a recent spin on the Flat at Pontefract and looks well handicapped back in this discipline. Charlie Uberalles appears to have benefited from wind surgery and was a recent winner over fences at Perth. Johnson's Blue is on a four-timer having progressed from a basement figure since sent handicapping. Largy G won a valuable race for mares at Newbury and it will be fascinating to see how she gets on in a rare outing against the boys. Fugitives Drift is a rare Nicky Henderson runner at the track and a market check is advised.
