Verdict

It's still early days for ADVANCING who justified support with something to spare over C&D on stable debut and he's fancied to defy a 7 lb rise. Mr Baloo wasn't seen to best effect last time and merits consideration off a tempting mark, along with Epictetus who is likely in better heart than recent form figures suggest.
