Verdict

Theinval was only placed three times in 10 starts in France and may do better when going chasing. THE BROCK AGAIN is another French import but has much stronger credentials and it would be no surprise to see him get off the mark at the first time of asking for new connections. Dubawi Island, Tornado In Milan and Carry On Sydney are returning from a break but Kashmir Peak is fit from the Flat and Exitas won a Listed handicap at Market Rasen in September and is improving, though has been raised 12lb since. Mystery Drama needs to improve on her second at Stratford and may find this ground too testing.
