Verdict

The interesting one is ALSO KNOWN AS, a point winner who could leave his modest hurdling efforts behind now switched to chasing for his handicap debut fitted with headgear. This isn't a strong race and a big run would be no surprise. Cloudy Wednesday can reverse recent course placings with C'est Quelqu'un, while Keplerian may also do better now going over fences with a tongue tie on.
