Verdict

In a race devoid of a standout candidate, a chance is taken on HECTOR MASTER, who has been handed what looks a feasible mark for this handicap debut. Oot Ma Way appeared to have matters under control when exiting at the final flight at Carlisle on Thursday and will be a threat if going to post, but Ugo Du Misselot is feared most back in this sphere. The Electrician is worth a second look, too.
