Verdict

This looks ripe for an unexposed handicap debutant, with NINETOFIVE and Artic Row of particular interest. The former represents a yard in excellent form so he just shades the vote on the back of a breathing operation. Hashtag Lord has been a little expensive to follow but he does need considering.

  1. NINETOFIVE (IRE)
  2. ARTIC ROW
  3. HASHTAG LORD (FR)
