Race preview
WINTERWATCH shed the maiden tag at the third time of asking on his latest outing, dismissing his rivals with consummate ease. It would be somewhat of a surprise if there wasn't more to come and the three-year-old gets the nod on his handicap debut. Grand Scheme returns to calmer waters and must be respected stepping up in trip. Completing the shortlist is Epic Pass, who has been edging in the right direction.
