Verdict

The one with the most attractive profile is BALHAMBAR, who achieved a pretty useful level of form on the Flat and he appears to be going the right way in this sphere judged on his latest effort. That was his first start for new connections and further progress is anticipated now that he goes down the handicap route. Royal Deeside and Passing Kate are feared most in that order of preference.

  1. BALHAMBAR (FR)
  2. ROYAL DEESIDE
  3. PASSING KATE
