      Verdict

      Great Demeanor wasn't beaten far on his handicap debut at Lingfield and makes more appeal than Black Dave over today's distance. Red Dragon's winning run came to end off today's mark last time and he's another with something to prove over a mile while Red Gift gets first-time blinkers after finishing runner-up on the Fibresand. AL ENBESS was quietly fancied to make a winning debut on Polytrack and didn't disappoint with a cosy win at Lingfield. David Simcock's colt gets the vote on his handicap bow with further progress expected.
