      Verdict

      Kratos is penalised for winning over track and trip back in November though should still figure with an apprentice’s allowance helping his cause today. As If By Chance was only beaten a head over 7f here last time while SEEKING PERFECTION found only one too good over course and distance on her debut. The latter can take advantage of the weight concessions with normal progress. Mollys Brother finished behind the selection while Odd Socks Havana is even harder to recommend.
