Albegrey won at Ripon recently but is 6lb higher while Showmedemoney landed a lower grade contest at Musselburgh and is raised 5lb. Discretion made all in a novices race at Beverley but drops down in trip for her handicap bow. She looks vulnerable if similar front-running tactics are adopted here as FIORINA missed out by only a nose when finishing strongly at Kempton on her handicap debut and should have the race run to suit. Dion Baker looks best of the remainder handicapping for the first time.
