    Verdict

    Skytree won a novices race in soft going at Thirsk and Maxine’s earlier double over 1m2f also came in testing ground. Epic Pass has switched yards since placing on the all-weather but HANDSOME found only one too good at Newmarket last month having shown signs of temperament at the start. He should settle better with a hood fitted for this so James Fanshawe’s charge gets the vote.
