DETACHMENT had dropped to a fair mark when landing a better handicap at Pontefract last week for which he’s penalised 6lb. He can complete a quick double for his local handler. Archie Perkins has completed a double here in recent weeks, the latest on ground with some give, though he’s up in grade from 6lb higher. Vigee Le Brun scored at Ripon last month but that was his only victory and he’s 7lb higher. Ideal Candy has won twice on fast ground but was engaged to run on testing ground at Hamilton yesterday and would have to be considered here if handling those conditions.
