In depth
Verdict
A highly competitive opener containing many in-form rivals such as Freya's Dream who is the TEAMtalk selection to complete a four-timer under a 6lb penalty. Tim Easterby's charge is well treated compared to future handicaps and is sure to go well from a favourable draw. Wixoe Express is also penalised for recent wins and, being a lightly raced type, is open to plenty of improvement so rates a danger along with the progressive pair My Raggedy Man and Pablo while recent Newmarket winner Bon Marche has a handy weight but the luckless Mubaah may find a low draw against him.
