Verdict

Tadita Twitch recorded her best efforts over 6f last term so HEAD CHEF is preferred. The latter finished behind higher-rated horses than these in a maiden over today’s trip at Doncaster in September and makes his handicap debut having been gelded subsequently. Timbukone has also been gelded since placing at Musselburgh last summer while Madame Bonbon steps up in trip handicapping for the first time.
