Kaatibb finished runner-up over today’s trip at Lingfield on his handicap bow though his yard is finding winners hard to come by at present. Wootton'sun won at Doncaster before struggling in a higher grade at Newbury while most of the remainder step up in trip including recent Doncaster third Roudemental and BROADSPEAR. The latter makes his handicap debut after going close at Thirsk on his seasonal debut and this extra test of stamina should bring further improvement.
