Verdict

Preference is for ROUND THE TABLE who has won both starts since his promising debut, creating a good impression when kicking clear at Doncaster last time before just holding on in the end. He can do better still as he heads into handicaps and gets the vote ahead of the in-form First Officer, with Race To The Stars also one to note.
