Tum Tum makes his handicap debut having been gelded since last seen in action in December. Dazzle Gold also goes handicapping for the first time while Hollydaze was beaten only a neck at Windsor on her handicap bow by Regina Pacis. The latter is trained by Roger Charlton so he’ll presumably have a good line on the form and runs another handicap newcomer in PILOT WINGS, placed at Salisbury last time and partnered by William Buick today. Dolcissimo and Pheidippides will need to step up on recent efforts while George drops down in class.
