A really open finale and cases can be made for plenty of these. Mojito made a good start to his handicapping career last month at Haydock and will aim to build on that close third now while the manner of Music Seeker's maiden win at Newmarket on soft ground marks him out as one to note in the betting. The beautifully bred Afaak is another first-time handicapper that could have something up his sleeve along with Zefferino. Auberge Du Lac just failed to score on handicap debut at Ascot over this trip and commands huge respect but Windsor maiden winner RUMPOLE receives the nod. He did things well from the front that evening and appeared to have plenty running left in him. He may be up to defying this opening mark.
