Verdict

A good-quality contest but from these advantageous terms, it's hard to get away from last year's winner PROTEKTORAT on the back of an excellent reappearance from a lofty mark at Cheltenham in November. Conversely, Handstands must concede weight all round but he's the up-and-comer against established sorts, while Matata will have to be patiently ridden to see this out but he arrives in top form.
