      Verdict

      Abe Lincoln landed a novices race over 7f at Wolverhampton recently but has yet to win a handicap and there are also doubts regarding stamina as he steps up in distance. KYLLACHY GALA (NAP) looks a safer option as he was beaten only a head by today’s rival Emenem over track and trip in December and Marco Botti’s charge re-opposes on more favourable terms today. By contrast, Celestial Path may find 1m2f short enough nowadays while Man Of Harlech missed the whole of last year and hasn’t looked the force of old for new connections so far.
