Verdict
OPEN LETTER proved to be on a decent mark for his handicap debut as he won a better nursery than this at Yarmouth. Dropping down a couple of grades off a 3lb higher mark, he can follow-up. Spithead also ran well at Yarmouth last time but is now 5lb higher than his earlier win at Lingfield while Sekumkum went close over 7f here off today's mark on his latest start. Missing Agent has been threatening to get his head in front of late and Gabrial The Boss wasn't beaten far in similar company at this track last week.
