Verdict

An opening handicap which includes a mix of unexposed sorts up against some seasoned campaigners in this sphere. The seven-year-old Rotherwick hasn't won for a while, but knows what it takes to run well in these races, as shown by his consistent profile in this grade this campaign and it would be a surprise were he incapable of making the frame again. If fit enough to do himself justice after a 340-day absence, then Astromachia should be hard to beat after the progress he showed last season in handicaps. We'll stick with PATHS OF GLORY though, who fluffed his lines in a competitive contest on handicap debut but should be able to resurrect that loss as he drops in grade.
  1. Paths Of Glory
