TAIMA makes her handicap debut having only raced over 7f so far. She has a middle-distance pedigree and is just the type Sir Mark Prescott does so well with when upped in trip. Jen's Lad went close over 7f when last in action in February but earlier attempts at today’s trip fail to boost confidence while Act Of Magic returned a losing favourite once again at Newcastle last time. Winter Snowdrop struggled here last month having won at Yarmouth earlier and Recall It All is one of the least exposed.
