Verdict

In a race where pretty much everything has a question to answer at present, a chance is taken on MARCH IS ON returning to form as he's beginning to look well treated. Point-winner Drumlee Getaway rates a possible improver now handicapping for the first time after wind surgery. Rare Clouds is another who could have a say if primed on his return for a new yard after a year off.
