Verdict

The well-bred THESTRAL proved a different proposition with his debut run behind him when scoring at Newcastle in December and, gelded ahead of his handicap debut, he's fancied to continue the good work with blinkers also enlisted. Chelmsford scorer Just A Gambler and Heart Sign are others to consider in an interesting race for the grade.
