In depth

Verdict

REMRANDT VAN RIJN should be opening his account in this. He separated a couple of subsequent winners when runner-up in a maiden contest at Kempton last time and has been allocated a handicap mark of 82. Blythe Star and Ledbury will do well to get past the selection though the latter showed a glimpse of promise on his earlier debut here but the newcomer Monasada may prove a threat. She is a half-sister to the useful Ghaawy and could go well.
