Race preview
A switch to more positive tactics saw Karton Plein make all at Southwell in February and he must enter calculations on his handicap/seasonal bow. An opening mark of 110 demands further improvement, though, and it may pay to side with WHISPERING HOPES instead. The Irish raider arrives on the back of two creditable efforts in defeat at Sligo and a similar performance now returning to handicap company may suffice. Gemini Man is the pick of the remainder.
