The last two winners of this have been well backed so a market check is advised. Brian Epstein, a winner at Kempton in October, is likely to attract some support. Karnavaal also won his final start last year and remain unexposed. Kamikaze Lord looks a similar type on paper while Harbour Spirit has already had a run this season. GOD HAS GIVEN could be making his handicap debut on a decent mark. He has been gelded over the winter and has also switched stables. The likes of Burj and Gallic looks a little more exposed.
