Verdict

The form of HALF TRACK's Ayr win is working out well, with the second not disgraced in Grade 2 company on his next start and the third winning twice since, so he's taken to make use of a workable opening mark. Fellow handicap debutant Gredin has already proven his aptitude for stamina tests and can go well, whilst Boss Man Fred catches the eye from a reduced mark back over a more suitable trip.
