Verdict
Several newcomers here with nice profiles including Razmataz and Trean who are worth monitoring. They’ll have to be pretty decent to see off those with form in the book though. Switching Sides went down narrowly to a Ballydoyle-trained odds-on shot on debut and sets a high bar, but PENNY BENJAMIN (nap) also ran a huge race on debut and will receive 13lb from the former.
