Verdict

ANNO MAXIMO and Costello finished fourth over today’s trip at Leicester on their respective latest starts though neither was beaten far. Preference is for the former as that was his first outing of the year and, with a visor likely to bring further improvement, he gets the vote. Lafontaine has won over a mile on the all-weather but hasn’t raced since November while several of the remainder make their handicap debuts with Folie D'amour preferred to Toolmaker and Lovers' Gait.
