Verdict

BATTISTA has been beaten at short prices on both starts in handicap company so far but he's gradually appearing to get the hang of things and should prove capable of defying this mark. Bint Al Daar managed to run well despite doing plenty wrong at Nottingham last week so also merits respect, with in-form course winner Croeso Cymraeg also considered.
