      Verdict

      Timewave made a winning debut in handicaps when scoring at Kempton while Mirabello Bay has won a couple of lower grade contests on the Polytrack. Haaland missed out on a hat-trick when third here though finished in front of Ramz while Lexington Hero has won a seller and makes his handicap debut along with BALBOA. The latter was fourth in a maiden at Lingfield last time behind higher rated horses than these and Jamie Osborne’s yard has been among the winners recently.
