Verdict
Not a race to get heavily involved in with little public form available. Drombeag and Gentle Beau both represent stables that can ready a first-time out winner in this type of event and the market will prove an invaluable guide to their chance. Of those to have raced, Alpha Sunrise confirmed earlier promise when a wide-margin winner at Fontwell in December but hasn't been seen out since and may prove vulnerable under top weight. The vote goes to Gebora who created a good impression when making a winning debut at Folkestone earlier in the month and with improvement to come should take plenty of beating under A P McCoy.
