OPERA KING looks leniently treated on bumper form, so he’s worth chancing now handicapping on return from a break for a yard that excels around this time of year United Front could improve further in this sphere, so she’s respected along with Karannelle.

Though BITSNBUCKLES has failed to back up his Huntingdon handicap debut success in two subsequent starts, he will have every chance if able to get back on track following a break, which is a plausible scenario with his yard in such good form. Garitsa Bay is second choice ahead of Prospect House, who struck over C&D in a division of this race when last seen 12 months ago
