      Verdict

      Colinton made a winning debut for a new yard when scoring over track and trip but is 4lb higher while Lopes Dancer will find this much tougher than the claimer he won at Wolverhampton. Autonomy ran poorly here on his reappearance when attempting a four-timer but will strip fitter here like Kabuto, who will be sharper for a recent outing at Southwell. EL JAD placed at the latter track on his earlier handicap debut and, with this extra distance expected to suit, gets the vote.
