As with many three-year-old handicaps at this stage of the season, a significant number are unexposed entering handicap company for the first time. The likes of Brawny, Onebab, Castle Quarter and Soul Searching all enter that category along with Jack Berry House, whose form does have greater substance. Improvement is possible from all the aforementioned but it's probably safest to row in with those with more established credentials. Lethal Missile is an obvious candidate having clearly made significant progress from two to three but narrow preference is for GLORY - the Hannon inmate has shaped well on both starts this season. Gleeful is also expected to go well for the Varian team.
