In depth
Verdict
Upavon was beaten only a length on his debut at Kempton and makes most appeal of those with experience. Hard Walnut has joined a new yard having finished last at Gowran in October but has the past form to figure while Sand Boy should be monitored in the betting on his first start since July. Mark Johnston won this last term with the more experienced Switzerland although Irish Dream is still worth a second glance on her debut but the speculative vote goes to LAUDATION on his introduction as he's a half-brother to five winning sprinters including Listed winner Corrybrough.
