      Verdict

      Eightfold is hard to fancy but the remainder can be a given a chance of sorts. Leicester winner Tinzapeas and Polytrack scorers Lady Gibraltar and Galician are all having their first start of the year and may be at a disadvantage on that score, while Four Better is just preferred to dual 6f winner Gabrial's Bounty over today's distance, as she scored over 7f at Kempton on her penultimate start. However, there was no fluke about INCENDIARY's 33/1 victory in a C&D maiden earlier this month given he had a subsequent winner well behind and Hugo Palmer's colt gets the vote on his handicap debut.
