Verdict
Alan King's Alberto Giacometti gelding Montbazon looks the most interesting of the newcomers in this but experience could be vital in a big field so preference is for CHELTENIAN. Second at Punchestown in the autumn when with Elizabeth Doyle, the Astarabad gelding is now with Philip Hobbs and can be expected to improve on his initial effort as his career progresses. Malibu Sun shaped with promise when fourth to Cinders And Ashes at Southwell in December, while Tickle Me ran well for a long way at Hereford last month and should improve. Raifteiri ran on again after getting briefly outpaced over 1m6f at Huntingdon last month so the step up to 2m should suit and he is probably the pick of the remainder.
