Verdict

Cases can be made for a few but the vote goes to TOTALLY CHARMING, who improved to open his account in convincing fashion at Wolverhampton when last seen back in July. Having joined George Boughey and been gelded since, he's fancied to make a winning start in handicaps. Espresso Freddo had plenty up his sleeve when beating Giuseppe Cassioli over C&D recently and they can feature again here.
