        Verdict

        Kettle Hill beat a subsequent winner at Windsor last summer and has been gelded since. He returns to action with the strongest form of these though carries a penalty. Big Wing drops down in trip after debuting here in October while the like of Biggles, Sunshine Fun and Abnaa haven’t raced since 2019. MOUNT MARCY makes his racecourse debut but the 500,000gns purchase is related to four winners including the smart Breton Rock and John Gosden’s newcomer gets the vote.
