      Verdict

      Brazen Arrow finished runner-up at Wolverhampton last time and can race off the same mark but OKEANOS is less exposed. The latter didn’t help his cause when slowly away at the latter track on his handicap debut but finished strongly and has plenty of scope for improvement. Ostilio looks no nearer taking advantage of a slide down the weights while Vitralite debuts for a new yard having failed to win in Hong Kong.
