CHEAP THRILLS appears to have been found an excellent opportunity to supplement Newmarket gains and can prove too strong for Devinius and Izzi Mill. Jamie Osborne's charge isn't well in under her penalty as the handicapper has only handed her a 5lb rise for her game victory in a better race than this. That shouldn't put anyone off though as there were plenty of positives to be taken from that performance and she'll take all the beating as long as that race hasn't left its mark. Devinius has questions to answer on quick ground as she embarks on a new campaign over a trip that's fully three furlongs shorter than the last she tackled. Ykikamoocow has struggled since hosing up in a seller on debut but the handicapper has slowly eased her mark and there could be more to come from her this season. Izzi Mill has run some decent races but is still a maiden and appears to be regressing; there's no doubt that she has the ability to win this race but we'd rather side with a horse that's going forwards and that horse is Cheap Thrills.
