Verdict

The vote goes to NAP HAND, who proved that plenty of the ability he showed in 2022 remains intact when putting in good late work to finish fifth in a 12-runner Kempton handicap last month. The 4-y-o was returning from a year-and-a-half off that day, so he's entitled to take a step forward here. Metabolt is an obvious threat having hit the target at Leicester recently, while High Spirited, though not the most reliable of types, is also accorded respect.
