      Verdict

      Acotango went close at Southwell recently while Seductive Power placed over track and trip last month. Sceptic ran well at York on his handicap bow but several of these have more scope including HALLA DUBAI. The latter found only the dual winner Embesto too good at Doncaster last time and Owen Burrows’ colt is preferred to both Nails Murphy and Mindthegap of those handicapping for the first time.
