Verdict
All four can be given a chance but GIOVANNI BAGLIONE may well defy a hike in the weights given he beat a subsequent winner with plenty to spare at Newmarket last time. Dion Baker wasn’t beaten far when runner-up at Carlisle while Snapcracklepop won at Nottingham before finding one too good at Doncaster. Savrola makes his handicap debut and may improve.
