Verdict

Preference is for HIROSHIMA, who was a fine fifth off this mark in the November Handicap at Doncaster on his final run of last term. He should be cherry-ripe following his reappearance at Nottingham (flying too high in what was a strong listed race) and the forecast slower ground here will help, too. Dancing Harry should also come on for his reappearance and is next best ahead of Ginistrelli.

  1. HIROSHIMA
  2. DANCING HARRY (IRE)
  3. GINISTRELLI (IRE)
