      Verdict

      The betting suggested Hubertas was expected to improve on his first start on Turf and he duly obliged over 1m2f at Nottingham last month. Galileano also got off the mark on the same card at Nottingham when scoring over 1m6f but both have a hefty hike in the weights to contend with here and preference is for FLAMME FANTASTIQUE. The latter gets first-time headgear on her handicap debut after a pipe-opener at Chelmsford and breeding suggests the 230,000 euros purchase will improve for today's longer trip. Neither Cahill nor Consortium look particularly well handicapped and have some improving to do to figure.
