Verdict

Plenty of these look vulnerable in handicaps, but DURRELL is the type to relish this increased test of stamina and is taken to gain a first handicap win on his third attempt. Kosciuszko flopped at Goodwood, but he was just behind Melrose winner Hamish at Newbury prior to that, and is a big threat if consenting to settle. Breath Caught looks best of the older generation.
