Verdict
Immortal Fame was second off a higher mark here in the autumn but, on recent form, it’s difficult to get away from BARRIER PEAKS, despite a further 8lb hike in the ratings for completing a four-timer at Uttoxeter. Bert Wilson is hard to catch right but won at Plumpton in January and Oxygen is eased in grade seeking a first victory in this country. Weaver's Answer should go well off a low weight but Cast's Tasha finished tailed off on her handicap debut.
