          Verdict

          With 24 runners lining up over 1m4f the Babraham Handicap is not one for the faint-hearted. Among those with claims are Les Eyre's Bawsian who seems to go on anything and comes here race fit, Warrsan who likes to hear his hoofs rattle and Harlestone Grey from the John Dunlop stable. The last mentioned starts the season on a fair mark and, although his better form is arguably over further, the likely strong pace should suit.
