Verdict

SQUIRE OSBALDESTON ran out a ready winner on the Polytrack on his return from an absence. Lady Cecil's progressive colt should take care of today's more exposed opposition on his handicap debut. Las Verglas Star has every chance having gone close in heavy ground at Nottingham last time and Uphold is not out of this with an apprentice's 7lb allowance in his favour. Raskova could be more consistent but has claims on her best form and is preferred to King Of The Celts on this surface. Most of the remainder look to have had already had enough for the season and are hard to fancy.
