A 3-y-o handicap packed full of potential with the narrow vote in favour of SPECTACULAR VIEW. A winner at Chelmsford in the autumn, he again emerged with plenty of credit when splitting a fellow pair of promising improvers under a penalty at Kempton in December. He can make a bold bid on handicap debut, with Brave Mission, Best Rate and Dante's Lad just a trio of others to consider in a race sure to throw up plenty of winners.
