Verdict
SPECTACULAR STYLE (NAP) beat little when easily landing the odds at Hamilton but proved he stays this far and makes his handicap debut with more to come. Marhaba The Champ landed a tough handicap at York but Victory Dance struggled at Ascot on his handicap debut when a long way behind the runner-up True Legend. Tenerife Sunshine made a winning reappearance at Kempton and has more scope than the other recent winners Splendent and Divina Grace.
