Verdict

Milton Harris fields strong candidates in PYRAMID PLACE and Songo. The latter will prove popular following back-to-back C&D novice wins and is accorded plenty of respect. However, his jumping will face a sterner test now pitched into handicap company and Pyramid Place, who was at the top of his game in this sphere prior to a low-key run on the Flat, is preferred at the likely prices. In-form veteran Caius Marcius and Sebastopol are others to consider, while Edison Kent is also worth a look.
