      Verdict

      Aerion Power and Simulation Theory ended last year making winning handicap debuts over 7f with victories at Wolverhampton and Yarmouth respectively. The former is preferred in this while Invincibly also steps up in distance on the back of a fourth at Wolverhampton. Grangeclare View ran well over a mile back in January but FOREST FALCON makes a quick reappearance having come out second best to stablemate Namoos at Musselburgh last week and Mark Johnston’s colt gets another chance.
