Verdict
Henok was third over C&D on his debut but may not come into his own until tackling longer distances. Street Dance disappointed when only beating one home here last week but is still preferred to Keith Goldsworthy's other runner, Gracious Beau. Koultas King has shown promise in both starts so far, as has Bathwick Junior who was second on her racecourse debut over C&D in December. But the interesting one may be Nicky Henderson's newcomer SPEED MASTER, who is by King's Theatre out of a mare that won on the Flat and over hurdles - he may just have too much speed for these.
