Verdict

Despite showing signs of inexperience, ULTIMATE ACT did well to score on his debut over timber at Warwick. He's capable of better and gets weight from the other two previous winners in this so can score again. Arabian Revolution made a winning start at Sandown but was then beaten in an ordinary contest at Ludlow. Chatez was tried in a handicap at Kempton last time after winning at Bangor and Warwick but finished tailed off and has a big weight to carry here. Golden Spear needs more while Iniesta makes his first start for a new yard. Matorico will have to be useful to make a winning debut in this grade but did win on the Flat in France.
