Thrice-raced maiden who shaped well when fifth of 11 in minor event at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 11/4) 25 days ago, not ideally placed. Significantly up in trip for his handicap debut. Remains with potential. Interesting.

Forecasts

Gastronomy (85/40), King Eagle (9/2), Reach (13/2), At Liberty (11/1), Alpine Stroll (12/1), Atlantis Blue (14/1), Sword Beach (14/1), Talap (16/1), V Twelve (16/1), Cabrakan (16/1), Grand Canal (18/1), Daniel Deronda (33/1), The Rain King (33/1), Masqool (66/1)

Verdict

Lots with chances but Roger Varian's GASTRONOMY appeals as the sort to take a sizeable step forward now he goes handicapping with his stamina drawn out more so gets the vote. Cabrakan enjoyed a good winter over hurdles for Milton Harris and is feared most back in this sphere, with both Atlantis Blue and Reach weighted to have a say.
