Kameel³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Kaiya Fraser⁽³⁾| T: J Butler| OR: 81

11/2

Has won maiden/novice events over 7f at Newcastle this winter. More will be needed if he's to stretch his unbeaten record to 3 on handicap debut but further progress would come as no surprise.

Forecasts

Brindavan (3/1), Sweet Fantastic (10/3), Invited (4/1), Kameel (11/2), Best Rate (13/2), Spirit Lead Me (11/1), Berkshire Smudge (11/1)

Wolverhampton novice winner BEST RATE should have more to offer in handicaps and gets the nod to defy top weight. Sweet Fantastic wasn't seen to best effect last time and can bounce back to the form he showed to land a 7f course handicap in January and provide the chief threat ahead of the unbeaten Kameel.
