Verdict
KARAZHAN is a half-brother to a French Flat winner as well as jumpers Karasenir and Karasakal and could be good enough to make a winning start to his career. He's likely to have more pace than winning pointer Vicsafia while Vegas Cash didn't improve on his Ffos Las debut when fourth over 1m6f here in December and hasn't been seen since. Fortyscore may need more time but Oliver Sherwood's mare Luci Di Mezzanotte is a half-sister to several decent jumping winners and would be worth noting if attracting market support.
