Verdict

Gastronomy has shown ability but has left Roger Varian and now has a first start for new connections. Knightswood has dropped a stone in the ratings since last summer but still appears out of sorts. Frankendael should progress after a mere five starts in three seasons but has appeared to be where the handicapper wants him this term. HAARAR is fitted with a visor as connections look to eke out further improvement and he gets the vote on the back of a reasonable Doncaster run latest.
