Verdict

Interesting French recruit CASH BACK can win on debut for new connections here. The Linda's Lad gelding finished second in both of his final two starts for trainer Yohann Gourraud when last seen in September and October of 2017, but the seven-old-old is expected to be ready despite the long lay-off. Of the others, Automatic, Cosmo's Moon and Makka Pakka look the best of the rest and are worthy of consideration.
