Verdict
GOOD HUMOURED looks capable of building on his debut run and can land this on his reappearance, while Kloof and Ask The Oracle are interesting. The selection performed well when making his first racecourse appearance on Southwell's Fibresand in November, when runner up to Captain Kallis. The form of that run looks solid enough in context and this step up in trip should be ideal, so we'll side with him. Kloof has now had a couple of runs to get the hang of the game and, although beaten comfortably on both occasions, the Gosden yard is now in superb form and we may well see more from him now dropped back in trip. Ask The Oracle is related to winners at all ages and today's trip looks a nice enough starting point. The Where Or When gelding should improve for further but would be interesting if supported. Enhancing was tried over 10f last time and should be more at home now dropped back to this distance, while Smart Endeavour is another potential improver, but preference in the opener is for Good Humoured.
