Verdict

STAR VANTAGE's maiden status tempers enthusiasm but he's on a competitive mark on the pick of his form and afforded a chance equipped with a first-time visor. Handicap newcomer Dublinofficecallin rates a likely improver, whilst Market Rasen scorer De Deli Counter also commands serious respect. Roi Du Roume rounds off the shortlist.
