Verdict

TUNE IN A BOX has done nothing but improve since sent handicapping and, having been edged out only by a well-treated veteran on his most recent outing, he remains of strong interest. Haas Boy bounced back to form when third at Huntingdon last month and is sure to be on the premises with a repeat, while Defi Nonantais could take another step forward on his handicap debut.
