Verdict
WAR SPIRIT gets a speculative vote in what looks something of a lottery. He's partnered by Richard Hughes for his handicap debut and is preferred to stablemates Go For Broke and Touzr. Perfect Pursuit is another with claims handicapping for the first time while Red Cossack, Invoke and Suitsus are also lightly-raced types to keep an eye on. Iseemist is upped in class after a win at Brighton and Got To Dance is 8lb higher than when scoring at Leicester in September. Kodafine went close on the Polytrack earlier this week and Telegraph was placed in better company at Chester last season and may improve wearing a first-time visor.
