Verdict

ALBIE LITTLEWOOD has been brought along steadily and this half-brother to the yard's smart Roksana is fancied to take a sizeable step forward now his stamina is unlocked more. Fellow handicap debutant Kenzoko also looks to have better days ahead of him and could emerge as the main danger to Dan Skelton's improver. In-form duo Little Pi and Ebselysees also need factoring into this open handicap.
