Verdict

GARDENER's opening mark looks lenient and Alex Hales's recent Leicester winner is taken to follow up on his handicap debut here. Fellow handicap newcomer Half Dozen appeals as the type do better in this sort of event and is much respected, with Miltiades making most appeal of the remainder.
