Verdict

RATTLIN HOME looks a useful prospect in this sphere on the back of a very encouraging start to his career in a bumper 8 months ago and he can provide Dan Skelton with yet another winner. Simonsberg exceeded expectations at Chepstow and is a danger, while point recruit Back To Sea also needs respecting.
