      Verdict

      None of these have experience of the track but Andrew Balding boasts an impressive strike rate with his three-year-old runners here and a chance is taken on PICKAPOCKET. He ran well for second at Lingfield last time and is preferred to Henry The Explorer. The latter sets the standard with a mark of 77 but has not raced since September and Magical Lasso was last seen at the track during the same month when second at Musselburgh. Brighton fifth Dubai In Bloom is another returning to action but is Silvestre De Sousa's only ride on the card and one to note in the betting.
