Verdict
A big field but only a couple of these have looked like winning so far. Intimately posted his best effort to date when placed at Lingfield last month but COTE D'AZUR has the stronger form. He finished third at Kempton on his handicap bow and the runner-up has since boosted the form. Most of the remainder make their handicap debuts with the likes of Flanders Flame, Opera Baron, Bohemian Symphony and Fabulous Darling looking likely improvers.
