A fascinatingly competitive three-year-old handicap in which many of these have a lot of potential going forward. After running respectably in fifth behind the exciting Space Blues at York recently, Karnavaal is an interesting contender, especially as this looks an easier race on paper. Artistic Rifles defied a 6lb rise in the handicap to make it 2-2 at Doncaster this season and has a very likeable attitude, however he has to cope with softer ground. The one who is most exciting is WISE COUNSEL who ran well in good maidens last year and despite failing to justify favouritism in heavy ground at Haydock on his seasonal/handicap debut, should find this more to his liking.
