Verdict
Not an easy sprint handicap to unravel as is often the case with early season three-year-old contests of this nature, although those at the head of the weights appear to have been set plenty to do and it may be prudent to look elsewhere. Tanseeb was a consistent juvenile and can be easily forgiven an out-the-back run on his final outing when stumbling at the off. He's on a decent mark and the yard's inmates rarely fail for lack of fitness when returning to action. He should go well but slight preference is for Ralph Beckett's Clodovil filly, PERFECT ALCHEMY. She hasn't been asked too many difficult questions in winning the last twice but did so cosily and could have got in here off a potentially lenient mark. She looks the sort with more to offer. Stars Above Me is completely unexposed after just two starts of definite promise and should be taken very seriously should the money come for her.
