        Verdict

        On the evidence of his debut success Against The Grain looks thrown in here for his first handicap and is taken to score from Kaveri, Efidium and Stoic Leader. The Mark Johnston-trained selection ran on well to land a Newmarket maiden over 7f on debut. This step up in trip will suit, and his handler clearly feels that he has a good opportunity with the way the weights are framed here so we should take the hint. Kaveri has won twice over 7f, including last time out on the polytrack, and her form over a mile in defeat has also be decent, so she is respected. Efidium handles both track and trip well and is back on a winning mark, so can't be ruled out, while Stoic Leader is a c&d winner who relishes fast ground and is on a very handy mark, so is expected to show up well. But Against The Grain catches the eye on his handicap debut and is taken to score.
