In depth

Verdict

Clubbable showed some ability on her debut when third at Pontefract while Austin Powers found only stablemate Poetic Steps too good at here last time and the latter has won again subsequently. But a tight contest can go to HAN SOLO BERGER, third at Carlisle to a subsequent Listed runner-up on his introduction. The fourth horse has since won so the form looks solid enough. Black Friday and Retirement Beckons look to be facing tough tasks on their debuts.
