Verdict

FIRST WINTER displayed a willing attitude when successful on his first try over 1m at Sandown a month ago and with the form of that race working out pretty well, a 3 lb rise is unlikely to prevent a very bold follow-up bid. King Ragnar's runner-up effort at Yarmouth last week was a personal best and he has the same mark to work with, so he's the obvious threat.

  2. KING RAGNAR
