Tactical Manoeuvre finished unplaced in the finale at Chepstow on Friday. Russian Exile ran well for a long way on his handicap debut at Newton Abbot and Templier was a consistent sort in this grade last season. Chief Brody is the only course and distance winner in the line-up but GETABUCK has shown some ability in a light campaign to date and could make a winning start in handicaps. Some Spin may be best of the rest as course specialist Trans Express needs further.
