Verdict

A competitive handicap but there was plenty to like about the chasing debut of KAHAVARI here until he unseated three out and he is taken to bounce back in style. A Moments Madness rates a big threat starting out for Fergal O'Brien here, while Passing Kate and Jour D'evasion can both have a say too.
