Cheekpieces helped Twin Star get off the mark at Newton Abbot last month but he has already been well beaten off similar marks in handicaps. John Constable is on a long losing run but continues to slip down the handicap and will probably pop up somewhere before long. Working Class won twice last season but lacks a recent run and Rhosneigr has been struggling. FERROBIN finished almost seven lengths ahead of joint favourite Constancio when second at Newton Abbot and is only 2lb worse off so should confirm the form, though the top weight could find some improvement in first-time blinkers.
