Verdict
China Excels bids for hat-trick off only a 4lb higher mark, though his latest success at Beverley came back in May. Astrophysics has the more recent form and scored at the same track last month but Teajan is another returning from an absence and making his handicap debut having placed at Lingfield in April. SIR DOMINO posted his best effort for a while when third over track and trip recently. Dropping down a grade for this, he may prove good enough. Round The Island won over 6f here last week but he steps up in class today.
