        Verdict

        The Game gets the vote in this nursery handicap, although Bazguy and Fast Feet are also worth considering. The selection is a progressive type and he won in a quick time here last time when only 0.74s outside the two-year-old course record in beating What Katie Did. He will need to improve again to score but that looks probable and he should prove tough to beat. Bazguy ran well behind Ten Down here last time over 5f and as he is better over this trip he should be capable of a bold show. Fast Feet finished behind Bazguy last time and although he has place claims today, the handicapper may well have his measure at present. Kamal won well last time at Kempton and he looks to be going the right way. This is a trappy race which can go the way of The Game.
