Verdict

A decent handicap with KEYSER SOZE (NAP) looking primed for a return to winning ways. The latter was having his first outing since November when finishing a close-up fifth at Newcastle recently and can reverse earlier running with Reeves on more favourable terms. The latter’s winning streak has come to end but Ginger Fox continues his good progress, though is upped in class on the back of last month’s course and distance success. The selection's stable companion California Love went close in Listed company in France when last in action and is not out of this but Corazon Espinado and Young Fire have something to find with Reeves on collateral form and the remaining pair are harder to recommend.
