SHARP RELIEF was strongly supported on her handicap debut over 1m6f at Nottingham despite showing nothing in maidens and duly obliged. She led at the 2f pole that day so today's shorter trip shouldn't be too much of a concern and a 5lb rise looks manageable. Royal Bonsai had been making progressing on the Flat before scoring over timber at Market Rasen and looks a big threat. It's difficult to know what to make of the remainder and handicap debutant Joe Rocco will need to show much more than he has been doing to make an impact while Mayan Flight was beaten a distance at Ripon last time.
