Verdict

A case can be made for plenty of these but it may pay to take a chance on HEART OVER HEAD who chased home a now useful sort on bumper debut and looks to have be campaigned with handicaps over this sort of trip in mind. He's narrowly preferred to fellow handicap debutant Nazare, while Bitsnbuckles could have say if ready to roll on return. Walk In The Valley is by no means a back number stepping back up in trip for a capable yard.
