Verdict

THE HARDEST GEEZER has the strongest handicap form on offer, and he may well have the class to defy an 8-month absence. Wondering Why is in good hands and could prove the main threat if picking up where he left off last season. Continuance, Kapitein Kool and Fiveonefive all have recent match fitness on their side and need considering in a competitive renewal.
