One or two of these are going to prove more at home in handicaps and it’s one who returns from that sphere in YAA SALAAM who sets the standard. Useful on the Flat in Germany he’s given a good chance to open his hurdling account here. Hewn From Granite and Stormy Flight are two that will be more at home in handicaps but can’t be written off here while the consistent Marettimo isn’t out of this although he can look vulnerable to those less exposed. Glajou is the most fascinating contender with his French form hinting that he has to be respected in this sphere and the market may prove the best guide as to his expectations.
