Verdict
Officer Drivel returns to maiden company and boasts a higher handicap rating than both Samtu and Blue Oyster. Outback Warrior and Dynamic Ranger look likely to improve further, though they'll both need to if they're to catch up with Anglo Irish. The latter failed to land the odds when narrowly beaten over track and trip last time by Fractal, trained by David Simcock, which should give the handler a good line on the chances of BARYE. A half-brother to a winner in France, he gets a speculative vote ahead of fellow newcomers Miss Crystal and Mymatechris.
