    Verdict

    Having won the Bunbury Cup and finished a close fourth in the Ayr Gold Cup, Heaven's Guest appears to do best in big-field handicaps. He probably needed his run in the Cammidge Trophy and has a fitness edge over his rivals though Diescentric ran at Wolverhampton in February. Julie Camacho's charge was in cracking form in 2013 but had only one run last season so did very well to finish runner-up to Graphic on the Tapeta. Patentar has a penalty for his victory in a class 3 race at Lingfield but hasn't had much racing and there should be more to come this season. BALTY BOYS won two handicaps last term though his close second to Captain Cat in a Group 3 at Haydock was his best effort. The small field can play to his strengths and he's handed the vote.
