Verdict
Drop Kick Murphi is upped 4lb for winning in this grade at Brighton and won his maiden over course and distance earlier. Broadhaven Honey makes her handicap debut on the back of a success at Beverley but Speed Freak was still well beaten when runner-up back in maiden company last time. Incentive and Tullinahoo were not beaten far despite finishing only fourth on their respective latest starts but PRECIOUS PLUM gets the nod to go in again having won at Wolverhampton a fortnight ago with Silvestre De Sousa keeping the winning partnership intact.
