Three of these share the same handicap rating. Bit Of A Lad drops into a seller having failed to threaten in maiden company but Roaring Rory won a claimer at Wolverhampton last year. But both of the above have to give weight to LA ASOMADA. David Barron’s filly has shown enough with placed efforts both on Turf and the all-weather to suggest she can win at this level. Pilgrims Path looks best of the rest on these terms unless Mary E shows a big improvement on her form to date.
