JEAN BAPTISTE is becoming frustrating after a series of defeats in both novice events and handicaps but his form should be more than up to winning a race of this nature and he's given one last chance here. Hegemony looks an interesting colt on debut and may prove his biggest threat. First Target is a likely improver and one to consider for each-way purposes.
