Verdict
Saeed Bin Suroor boasts a decent strike rate here with his three-year-olds and HANDSOME MAN, already a winner on soft ground, should improve for his run behind Rougemont in a valuable sales race at Newmarket. He's preferred to Mahmood Al Zarooni's Wolverhampton winner Rebel Song and Expense Claim, who won a Kempton maiden last month but has been put up 4lb for his troubles. Sheila's Buddy may have been a little unlucky when only second at Nottingham last time and has improved over the winter. This is a stronger race but he's a better bet than stablemate Island Melody and shouldn't be far away. The maiden Perfect Delight looks the pick of the remainder.
