Plenty with a shout in this. Signore Piccolo and King Of Swing were both placed in their respective divisions of the same handicap in soft ground at Thirsk last month. Depth Charge and Yulong Xiongba both scored over track and trip on their latest starts while Lido Lady won on fast ground at Redcar in July but has been beaten in this higher grade since. FULLON CLARETS has yet to win a handicap but was beaten less than a length in testing going at Ayr on his penultimate start and the runner-up has subsequently won. Richard Fahey’s charge may well come good in this.
