Verdict
Burj finished closer dropped into this grade at Newmarket but Gin Palace faces a tougher task after winning at Brighton. Ouzo is preferred to Copal on the evidence of their respective handicap debuts while several go handicapping for the first time. Millions Memories and Entrusting drop back down in trip after placing over 1m2f while King Ademar finished runner-up here on his reappearance. But collateral form gives the latter something to find with DALAALAAT, who won a maiden race over course and distance last year and will be sharper for last month’s comeback run in soft ground here. The Haggas charge gets a speculative vote in a wide-open contest.
