Verdict
A tricky opener with all-weather winners Definitive Force and Judy's Park having a first run on Turf. This looks a lot easier than Dandy Dinmont’s first run in a handicap at the big Goodwood meeting last July and Variety Island was in good form at Newcastle in the autumn but Devaste is having a first run for a new stable. Raydoun is 0-4 on Turf but has won and placed at Newcastle this year. Definitive Force is also race-fit but MEGA MARVEL probably has the most scope of these and can make a winning reappearance.
