Quite an interesting handicap. FINE CASTING gets the nod to extend his winning sequence to 3 but Horizon d'Ainay and Dibble Decker are other lightly-raced sorts who should have more to offer so he's unlikely to have things all his own way. Genuflex is another who has the potential to play a prominent role.
