Castorienta was well beaten on her handicap debut having won a maiden race on the Polytrack earlier. Penny's Boy should have done better at Newbury last time and Handwoven returned a losing favourite in a lower grade at Yarmouth last week. BEREKA was beaten only a head by the progressive Moonspring at Wolverhampton in March. Upped in trip for her handicap debut, James Tate's filly looks to have every chance of opening her account in this company.
