Verdict

This is wide open but Harry Derham continues in fine form and his improving KARMA POLICE is fancied to take another step forward now he ventures into handicap company and provide him with another winner. Our Dylan is feared most in his bid to go 3-5 this term, although Activist is weighted to have a big say and Kempton scorer Guchen also seems sure to be on the premises. Osterberg completes the shortlist in a cracking handicap.

  1. KARMA POLICE (FR)
  2. OUR DYLAN (IRE)
  3. ACTIVIST (FR)
