Verdict

BESTIARIUS, a winning bumper, is still a maiden over timber after 13 starts but is rarely beaten far and is gradually dropping to a winnable mark. The lightly-raced Get With It has shown a bit of potential while Everyday Champagne makes his handicap debut on a lowly mark. Trac, formerly trained in France, has had a lot of experience for a five-year-old and put it to good use in heavy conditions at Wetherby but is unlikely to get those conditions here and he's very closely matched with runner-up Kinerton Hill on the revised terms.
