        Verdict

        A wide-open handicap featuring several recent winners. Great Example spread-eagled a field of maidens at Ripon and should be even better over this extra quarter-mile. Buriram won easily at Carlisle but that was on heavy going. Newbury scorer Kiefer looks progressive but is closely matched with Gantier on the revised terms. Newmarket third Desert Icon won over 1m2f at Pontefract so should stay, even though it’s not certain on pedigree. Divine Gift ran over 1m6f latest and has been given a chance by the handicapper but APPARATE has the greater scope. Roger Varian’s charge is easily forgiven his reappearance and was much better behaved when making all at Newmarket - an opening mark of 83 is not excessive.
