      Verdict

      FIRST VIEW was caught at the line at Kempton on his first start gelded and first outing since 2020. He looks up to winning off his current mark on that evidence and may prove the one to side with in a tight contest. Noble Mark has a shout having made a winning handicap debut when promoted to first at Nottingham while He's A Gentleman is refitted with cheekpieces having finished runner-up the last twice. Chelmsford runner-up Doux Esprit is upped in trip for his handicap bow and is another to consider.
