ALICE KNYVET was fancied on her handicap debut at Haydock but the filly ran too badly to be true so she is surely worth another chance. Kracking sets a fair standard having got in off a mark of 70 at Leicester and the grey made light work of his rivals on that first Turf start. Beautifulasalways was tried under positive tactics at Thirsk last month and we’ll see the formline tested in the preceding race while The Jackler performed creditably at Brighton earlier this term so may just take a liking to the esoteric nature of this circuit.
