Verdict

CHERISH ME (13) finished a neck from the winner in second at Addington over 1 ³/16m last start at her first career run. Not drawn to best so may need a 10/10 drive. POSEIDON (12) is back from a break of 11 months and looks to be right up to the mark following a recent trial win. May just need a bit of luck at some point from this difficult draw. Expecting a bright start to the campaign. KING NEPTUNE (7) is a three-year-old gelding from the Robbie Holmes stable on debut. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. Placed in a recent trial. Well-placed to score at his first appearance. CRUNCHED (11) is in the mix at his first run since finishing fourth over 1 ³/16m at Addington seven months ago.
