HEIRSLOOKINGATYOU is unexposed as he makes his handicap bow with Callum Rodriguez taking 3lb off an already acceptable mark. He needs to be kept on the right side and this is far from a strong race and is worth going along with. Johni Boxit arrives on the back of a Yarmouth success delivered in selling company and is respected despite the step-up in grade, whilst If We Can Can has been most disappointing since scoring at Redcar in May, a return to which form would give him strong claims here. Interestingly the handicapper is hardly dropping the Johnston gelding despite that trio of poor efforts and is still 4lb higher than when winning at Redcar.
