Verdict

KABRAL DU MATHAN proved ultra-consistent in strong 2m handicaps last season and there should be more to come over this longer trip on first start for Dan Skelton. Florida Dreams record in handicaps (1-10) doesn't do him justice, having finished runner-up three times and he may again prove second-best, while Andashan looks a likely improver now upped in distance.
