Verdict
Bint Australia’s ability to handle the ground has to be taken on trust as she steps up in trip while City Tour would prefer a faster surface. But it was soft going when GOLD SOUK won over 1m2f here last month and he gets another chance. Atavique makes her handicap debut having won on heavy ground last year while Beggarman debuts on Turf on his return to action and first start for new connections. Tamaris returns to the Flat having won at Wolverhampton last summer and Van Meegeren will appreciate this longer trip.
