Verdict

Honest Deal can figure on his handicap debut having got off the mark at Hamilton last time and the same comment applies to Roninski, who won a Wolverhampton maiden last month. Rock Ace won twice over 6f last season but hasn't been on the track since August and preference goes to VENTURA SANDS. He opened his account in a handicap at Musselburgh last time and, given the three horses immediately behind have all won since, that looks rock-solid form and Richard Fahey's charge can follow-up. Another Citizen and Mutajare make most appeal of the remainder.
