Verdict

Plenty in this field are making handicap debuts including Go To Dubai and Storm Hawk and with a little question mark over whether they are weighted correctly we instead turn to WHIPPERS LOVE. Breeding suggests that Mark Johnston's charge should relish these conditions and he looked as if he might when running a career best on Kempton's Polytrack on his handicap bow last time. He only just missed out on making a winning start in these ranks finding a potentially smart sort too good that day and it's a result that means he still looks well treated. Go To Dubai makes a handicap debut after some good performances in sellers and though his mark and form is difficult to assess now he steps up into this company he should be respected while in this mood. The form from Storm Hawk's last appearance has been let down by the winner and there is a little guess work involved whether his mark is a true reflection of his ability in his first start in this sphere. Underworld Dandy is from a yard in-form and looks to have a competitive burden on his back so can be considered but with so many unknown factors we'll stick with Whippers Love who is at least proven in this company.
