Verdict

CHTI BALKO's form proved very up and down last term but there's no doubt Donald McCain's veteran is potentially very well handicapped and the time to catch him could be fresh. Smart Lass goes particularly well around here and she's a big threat, whilst Fostered Phil is an intriguing contender back from a lengthy absence.
