Verdict

Lads Order has been in winning form at Southwell but debuts on this surface while Geography Teacher also scored on the Fibresand at Southwell last month and has been beaten since. Popping Corks won an easier sprint over track and trip in November and Coolagh Magic has placed over 7f here recently. Vrai failed to win when trained in France though placed on the all-weather at Deauville and debuts for Kevin Ryan today but CAUSTIC LOVE is taken to improve further on her handicap debut having been narrowly beaten in novice company here - she gets the nod to go one better.
