Verdict

Mainly exposed sorts in this with the weights headed by Barman, who goes well fresh so the lack of a recent outing is not a worry. However, he looks to face a difficult task to give 12lbs to Blackmail, who has improved leaps and bounds this winter and can race off just a 1lb higher mark than when last successful on the Polytrack. Brooke Sanders five-year-old has clearly benefited for the fitting of blinkers and looks the one to beat. Dream Magic is a capable performer, but it looks as though the Handicapper has hold of him for the time being, while failed hurdler Medallist would have a chance if he could reproduce his third to Port Moresby at Headquarters last August, off a 1lb higher mark. Front-runner Castleshane is ideally drawn in stall two and if allowed a free role up front, he may take a bit of pegging back.
