Verdict
BOLD REASON made his handicap debut in a much tougher contest than this at Newmarket and gets another chance for the Gosden yard. He’s less exposed than Sunbreak, who also drops in class and landed a double on the all-weather earlier this year. Grace's Secret ran well over 7f on her handicap debut and is preferred to winning plater Carp Kid while several make their handicap debuts with the likes of Photonics, Papa Stour, Sharp Reminder, Sioux Frontier and Ideal Candy all worth a second glance in an open contest.
