A few of these have been allocated a handicap mark and of those, BOLD PREDICTION comes out best. He's been keeping better company of late but his earlier narrow margin defeats at this level suggest Richard Hannon's colt can finally open his account. Max The Machine has posted his best efforts in soft ground and on the Fibresand but Pal Of The Cat has a decent third at Sandown to his credit and he can figure with a reproduction. The less exposed types have shown little so far though it would be no surprise if Henrietta Rose improved past Exotic Isle and Outbid on her Polytrack debut.
