Verdict

Rum And Butter showed some promise in maidens and makes his handicap debut from what could prove a lowly mark while it's about time Residence And Spa was winning from his lowly spot in the handicap and he ran well at Exeter last time. ZELKOVA ISLAND surprisingly faded quickly when sent over 2m5f at Kempton and this point-to-point winner is better judged on his previous victory over the minimum trip at Wincanton. He could be good enough to bounce back in a moderate event, especially as Gtaab hasn't raced for two years.
