Verdict

Plenty in with claims but this can go the way of TAKEIT EASY, who has progressed in 2m handicaps this term and typically gave his running when second at Huntingdon last month. Both the winner and the third that day have won since, so Pam Sly's charge can get back to winning ways here. Sonigino rates a likely improver on handicap debut so he's feared most, ahead of the in-form Geromino.
