Verdict
Several have been allotted a handicap mark with ONSLOW GARDENS edging this at the weights. He’ll be sharper for a recent comeback having gone close at Ascot last year. Mubhijah is more exposed having placed over a mile the last twice now and Laoisman is preferred on his third over today’s trip at Doncaster. Eyeshadow and English Oak may prove best of the rest.
