It's unusual for an Irish raider to get into a British handicap off the same mark as it has in Ireland, so it's understandable that Vera Verto is favourite, especially as his form has worked out so well.

However, he has a 6lb lower Flat rating than Oceanline and has to give that one 4lb, and there are reasons to think Alan King's juvenile can step up in his first handicap.
