Verdict

Hartford Starts has shown nothing in either outing and there's been no improvement in three starts from Perfect Pasture. BITUSA can make the most of his fitness advantage against the remainder of the field as he finished runner-up on his reappearance over 6f at Newcastle and will appreciate the return to today's longer trip. Dairam was unfancied on his debut at Newmarket in October and ran accordingly. Much better is expected from him this year while both Red Paladin and Serenata made the frame before ending last season with disappointing runs.
