Verdict
WHATSDAMATTERWITHU is thriving and unbeaten as a gelding. He continues to improve so a 4-point penalty for his last-start success is unlikely to halt his momentum. VAR PARK has dropped to below his last-winning mark so should make his presence felt. However, he is held on recent form by ICE DRAGON who will likely pose more of a threat. Class-dropper BANYAN, filly CALADRIUS and hard-knocker TIME WILL TELL can also get into the picture.
