Verdict

Kelburne, who didn't have the race run to suit last time, may not be suited by the drop in trip, while Calcutta is normally one to oppose, rather than back. Putra Pekan, a classy performer, has plenty on his plate and is not certain to confirm the form with Muchea on these terms. My Lucy Locket has more too do under her penalty. French import Crystal Castle, has no easy task on his debut in this country, but must be noted if the market speaks in his favour. The vote goes to Heretic, a half-brother to the useful Warningford, who improved with age.
