Verdict
Herbert Park will probably show his best when sent chasing but showed plenty of promise over timber last season before disappointing on both starts this term. He musn't be forgotten and it will be interesting to see if first-time blinkers sharpen him up. Battle Dust, another rerouted from Bangor, faces a tough task on his handicap debut but is still very much one to take careful note of. He's definitely on the upgrade. Sybarite remains an enigma, whilst the likeable and reliable The Boss's Dream should post another competitive effort despite a 5lb rise for his latest gutsy success. TAMBURA gets the nod though as she's a really solid mare who gets on so well with her claiming amateur and doesn't know how to run a bad race. She's a value option in a trappy affair.
