A typically trappy event for this course and is one to approach with a cautious view. That said Kasthari responded well to the urgings of Pat Eddery on his debut here a fortnight ago, and finished the race with a flourish. He may not be one of his owner's leading lights, but he should find a race like this is far from beyond him. As usual the betting ring will provide the most information on the newcomers but Able Baker Charlie has solid form from last year and should be considered if Kasthari is going to be opposed.
