      Verdict

      Most of these go handicapping for the first time and Artieshow returned a ready winner at Kempton in January with SHUHOOD back in third. But the latter was carrying a penalty for an earlier success at Redcar and re-opposes on much more favourable terms today. Ian Williams’ charge may well reverse running and also makes more appeal than both Sir Hamilton and Carouse, who failed to land hat-tricks on their repective latest starts in novice company. Book of Dreams has been gelded since last seen in action in October and has no easy task on his return.
