Verdict

THE QUESTIONER finished first past the post on handicap debut at Southwell last time and gets to race off the same mark here. He travelled nicely through the race before being demoted for causing interference, so the 6-y-o can quickly gain compensation this time around. Celtic Tara is also open to progress at 3m in first time cheekpieces and is feared most, while Freethinker is not dismissed lightly in his bid for a hat-trick.
