Verdict
Pastoral Music was placed in a maiden race over 1m2f here last time and goes handicapping for the first time. He’s preferred to the other handicap newcomers The Otmoor Poet and Tom's Rock having made the frame over 1m4f before that. Maroc, Mystikana and SKY OF STARS were all placed in handicaps on Turf recently. But the latter’s third at Newmarket came over today’s distance and given Bill Knight’s charge went also close in a maiden race at Kempton earlier, he gets the vote to come out best in this.
