Verdict

Recent winners Grand Introduction and CEANN SIBHEAL are both due to race off higher marks in future. The former landed a gamble here last week whilst the selection enjoyed a wide margin romp in first-time blinkers on Saturday. Warren Greatrex has his team in excellent form and future official ratings suggest his charge is the best handicapped of the pair. Oneida Tribe was unlucky to be demoted after dead-heating last time. That form has been undermined since, but he may prove good enough for a place.
