Verdict

Given his profile, it's hard to ignore the claims of AWORKINPROGRESS given he continues to pass each test in handicaps. From 4 lb higher, the 7-timer is firmly on the cards, with Jubilee Express and Pats Fancy feared most unless there's market support for Makin'yourmindup on his return from a lengthy absence.
