Verdict
Many of these are open to improvement now stepping up in trip for their handicap debuts and the market should be highly informative. Bad Dog, Plansina and Panophobia need to be checked in that regard. Keith Dalgleish saddles three with little obvious appeal on form. However, the yard's record with their youngsters here warrants a check in the ring beforehand. Sorority has claims despite topweight as this new trip should suit but ARCHIE PERKINS earns the vote. Nigel Tinkler's runner has underperformed on soft ground lately. His previous run at Thirsk in a hot race puts him on an attractive mark in this and a reproduction of that effort, provided the going remains good as forecast, would probably be enough.
