Verdict

Grazeon Sunshine boasts strong NH form in bumpers and won in that sphere at Sedgefield in December before running a solid race in defeat at Aintree on Boxing Day. His Flat form is nothing to get excited about, but he'll likely take a big step forward on his handicap debut. Nevertheless, KITSUNE POWER gets the nod based on his pleasing placed effort at Catterick, which was followed by another solid third at Beverley, and experience can win the day. Billy No Mates is next best.

Top Tip: Kitsune Power (2)
Watch out for: Grazeon Sunshine (1)

Kitsune Power has run two solid races since reappearing and remains competitively weighted so will likely be thereabouts once more, while Tupero is only a 4yo and could yet be open to a little further improvement. He ran well at Ayr on Monday. The selection, though, is handicap debutant GRAZEON SUNSHINE. He looks a likely improver now up in trip given he's a fair bumper winner and still unexposed.
