OUT OF SIGHT was denied only by a stronger stayer coming from further back on his handicap debut at Beverley earlier this month. He's taken to go a place better here and provide Alex French with a first winner. The main threat could be Duke of Prussia, who didn't show much as a 2-y-o but is open to improvement heading into handicaps, with Greyed First completing the shortlist.
